The UK and India have agreed a social security double contributions convention, designed to prevent double payments of social security by workers who are temporarily posted between the UK and India. The full agreement has not yet been published; however, it is expected that it will operate on similar principles to other reciprocal social security agreements. Both parties have confirmed that when international assignments last no more than three years, workers will only be required to contribute to their home country’s social security system.
More information on how this agreement will work and the outstanding questions can be found in our GMS Flash Alert.
