India-UK Deal Removes Double Salary Contribution Requirement For Workers: How It Can Benefit You?

The India-UK Double Contribution Convention eliminates the need for Indian workers in the UK to pay into both social security systems. Instead, they can continue contributing solely to India’s EPF for up to three years, saving up to 20% in salary costs. Expected to take effect by mid-2026, the agreement simplifies global assignments, reduces HR burdens, and boosts professional mobility. A Certificate of Coverage is required for exemption.
