Indians who have lived and worked in the UK should transfer their pensions to India through QROPS-approved schemes for better financial benefits. This transfer helps avoid UK taxes, including inheritance tax, and offers more investment flexibility. Keeping your pension in the UK means dealing with fluctuating exchange rates, complex regulations, and potential tax deductions. By moving your pension to India, you gain control over your retirement savings, enjoy tax-efficient withdrawals, and benefit from India’s growing economy.
