The United Kingdom is the country that signed the Social Security Agreement with India to prevent double social security contributions for employees posted on short-term assignments of up to 36 months. The agreement applies to the UK and Northern Ireland and is intended to facilitate workforce mobility by reducing financial and administrative burdens on professionals working in each other’s territories. It will come into effect along with the India–UK Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement, marking a significant step in strengthening bilateral economic cooperation and deepening strategic ties between the two nations.
