India is pursuing a social security agreement with the United States aimed at protecting workers' benefits and facilitating labor mobility between the two countries.
The Government of India is actively engaging in efforts to establish a Social Security Agreement with the United States. This bilateral agreement is intended to safeguard the social security rights of Indian workers employed in the U.S., as well as American workers in India, ensuring contributions made in one country are recognized in the other. Such an agreement would address issues like double social security taxation and help workers maintain their benefits across borders. While official communications confirm ongoing negotiations, detailed terms and timelines remain under discussion. This initiative is part of India’s broader strategy to support its overseas workforce and enhance bilateral labor cooperation. The Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian Embassy in the U.S. continue to coordinate with relevant stakeholders to advance this agreement. No official announcements have indicated specific challenges or complaints related to the prospective pact at this stage.
