The one rule change for UK workers in India
A new social security agreement between the UK and India will start on 15 July 2026, ensuring workers only pay contributions in one country at a time. The double contribution convention means employees can remain liable to their home country's social security for up to 60 months. The agreement covers those working temporarily in the other country, including remote workers, but not self-employed individuals.
