Thinking about transferring your UK pension overseas? TransferMyQROPS or TMQ makes it easy, secure, and hassle-free! Whether you’re an expat or planning to retire in India, we help you move your pension into a QROPS with expert guidance and full compliance.
One of the biggest financial decisions for prospective expatriates planning a move abroad is how to manage their pension fund. So, if you’re planning to live abroad or have already moved, you have two options for your UK pension:
Leave it in the UK
Your pension remains where it is.
Transfer it to India.
Move it to a Qualifying Overseas scheme, a Qualified Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS).
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) working in the UK are required to contribute to UK pension schemes, which can grow into a substantial retirement fund. However, if they return to India and withdraw directly from their UK pension, the proceeds may be taxed under current regulations.
Fortunately, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC)—the UK’s tax authority—offers an alternative: the Qualifying Recognized Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS). This allows NRIs to transfer their UK pension to an approved overseas scheme, providing a more tax-efficient way to access their retirement savings after leaving the UK.
By opting for a QROPS, returning NRIs can better manage their pension funds while minimizing tax liabilities.
QROPS: Transferring Your UK Pension to India
What is QROPS?
A Qualifying Recognized Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS) is an HMRC-approved overseas pension scheme that allows expatriates to transfer their UK pension benefits to another country, including India, after leaving the UK. This scheme ensures a smooth, tax-efficient transfer without triggering unauthorized payment charges. For Indians who have contributed to a UK pension and plan to retire in India, QROPS offers a structured way to manage retirement savings while minimizing tax liabilities and currency risks.
