India and the UK signed the landmark India–UK Free Trade Agreement on 24 July 2025, which includes a Double Contributions Convention (DCC) exempting temporary Indian workers in the UK from social security contributions for up to three years . This move benefits approximately 75,000 Indian professionals across IT, finance, legal, education, and digital services, significantly lowering employer costs and boosting take‑home pay . The enhanced mobility and cost efficiency are expected to invigorate Indian services firms like TCS and Infosys, helping them expand operations in the UK and drive bilateral professional collaboration.
