Foreign direct investment in India & Tax Collections in UK

 Foreign direct investment or FDI is one of the most important sources of non-debt finance and a major factor in the economic development of any country. According to the World Investment Report, 2020 of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), India jumped from 12th spot in 2018 to 9th spot in 2019 on the list of global top 20 recipients of FDI. FDI inflows into India increased from US$ 44 billion in 2018 to US$ 51 billion in 2019 putting India among the top 10 recipients of FDI in the world. 

The numbers coming in from the UK are equally incredible, however, they’re for all the wrong reasons. While overall tax income is down 28%, sales tax (VAT) is down 46%, and employment taxes are down 29%. Government debt levels have exploded to above 101% and expected to reach 120% by next year. If you’re an NRI in the UK and are planning to retire in India, bringing your pension along with you is the best decision you could make.


How do I transfer my pension from the UK to India and will I incur any penalties?


Transferring your pension fund from the UK to India through QROPS approved schemes is penalty-free and tax-free.


What is QROPS?


QROPS stands for Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme and refers to all overseas pension schemes that meet the stringent guidelines and parameters set by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). UK Pension funds can be transferred to India via a QROPS without incurring any penalties or charges, as long as the Indian scheme maintains compliance with HMRC. An important fact to remember is that while a lot of schemes claim to be compliant and feature on the HMRC official site, not all of them are, and HMRC does not take responsibility for verifying if schemes are actually compliant.


How do I know if I’m eligible?


If your pension belongs to the following categories, you are eligible to transfer your pension fund to India through QROPS:


  1. Occupational

  2. Final salary

  3. Defined benefit

  4. Defined contribution

  5. Self-invested personal pension (SIPP)

  6. Small self-administered scheme (SSAS)


How do I know which schemes are HMRC compliant?

Don’t Wait, Transfer Your QROPS UK Pension Fund To India Now!

  Did you know that India became the world's fifth largest economy in 2019 in terms of nominal GDP, moving ahead of both France and the UK? While the pandemic and global economic slowdown has pushed it back to 6th place, the CEBR (Centre for Economics and Business Research) has forecasted India becoming the world’s third largest economy by 2030, moving past the UK by 2025, Germany by 2027, and Japan by 2030. If you’ve lived and worked in the UK and have accumulated a pension fund there, the time has never been better to transfer that pension fund to India through a QROPS.

ULIPS QROPS SCHEMES IN INDIA

  Did you know that investing in individual stocks is a lot more expensive and time-consuming than investing in mutual funds and ULIPS? Additionally, not everyone can afford professional money-management, which is why mutual funds and ULIPS were created, to bring expert financial advice and stock analysis to the masses. They also offer a well-documented prospectus for each fund, as well as semi-annual or annual reports about how the fund invests. If you’re an NRI who’s worked in the UK and and are now planning to retire in India, you can move your pension funds into a QROPS ‘in specie’, which means you can invest it in ULIPS in India, under the QROPS umbrella for tax shelter. Alternatively, you could invest in fixed instruments with fixed interest rates of up to 10.5%. Considering the Indian economy is still booming with FDI pouring in and the Bank of England has predicted the worst recession in 300 years, this might just be the right time to get your pension out. Is there a penalty in
