Indians who have lived in the UK and are moving back to India should transfer their pensions through QROPS-approved schemes. This ensures tax efficiency, avoids UK inheritance tax, and eliminates currency conversion losses. With India’s fast-growing economy, pension funds can benefit from better investment opportunities. QROPS also offers flexible withdrawals and secure payments in INR. If you’re retiring in India, transferring your pension provides greater financial security, higher potential returns, and full control over your savings.
