Double Contribution Convention (DCC)
Social Security Portability
The DCC is a bilateral agreement ensuring that professionals temporarily working in the other country do not pay social security contributions in both nations simultaneously. Before the India-UK DCC, Indian IT and services professionals on assignment in the UK often paid into both the UK National Insurance system and India's Provident Fund system.
- The DCC is part of the CETA's services chapter.
- It directly benefits India's large IT and services sector, which sends significant numbers of professionals on temporary UK assignments.
- Similar provisions exist in India's CEPAs with Japan and UAE.
