Indians who have lived and worked in the UK should consider transferring their pensions to India through QROPS. This move helps avoid UK taxes, ensures payments in INR, and eliminates currency conversion losses. With India’s strong economic growth, pension funds can benefit from better investment opportunities. QROPS also bypasses UK inheritance tax, allowing full pension benefits for your heirs. This make it a smart choice for those retiring in India. If you’re planning to move back, transferring your pension secures your financial future with better control and returns.
