Appraisal Dilemma: Should I Share the Tech Team's CTC List with Their Lead?

Hi, I am working as an HR for a startup company where I manage end-to-end tasks. I would like to know if, during appraisal time, the tech department lead asks me for their team's CTC list, should I share it with them?

Hi, there is nothing wrong with providing salary details to the Technical Department Head. However, ensure you share salary details related only to his department or team. Salary data of the team members is essential for the department head for processing increments during appraisal time.

Confidentiality Measures
Also, whenever you are sharing salary data with HODs, share it as a password-protected Excel file and communicate the password orally for confidentiality purposes.
