India UK Pact To Cut Social Security Costs

CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News New Delhi: India's new social security arrangement with the United Kingdom is set to reduce assignment costs for Indian companies and professionals working in the UK. The Double Contribution Convention will allow eligible employees sent from Indian companies to avoid paying UK social security contributions for up to five years while continuing coverage in India.

The measure is expected to help thousands of intra-company transferees and businesses operating across the India-UK corridor. It reduces the burden of dual payments and gives companies more certainty while planning overseas projects, technology assignments and management postings.

The agreement is due to work alongside the wider India-UK trade framework. For Indian employers, the relief could improve competitiveness and make short-term overseas deployment more efficient.
