For many UK Indians planning to retire in India, one of the biggest financial decisions is what to do with their UK pension. Over the years, we at QROPS Direct have guided numerous families in transferring their UK pension funds to India in a safe, compliant, and tax-efficient manner.
We have worked with some of the leading UK pension providers including Standard Life, Scottish Widows, Aviva, Prudential, Legal and General, and Aegon. These are names most professionals in the UK are familiar with, and we have successfully helped clients move their funds from these institutions to India.
In addition to UK providers, we also handle pension transfers from international jurisdictions such as Malta, Channel Islands, Gibraltar, and Isle of Man. These regions are often used by professionals for pension structuring, and we have managed transfers from these centres back to India with full compliance under the QROPS framework.
Real client experiences
-
A senior software executive who served as CFO of a global company successfully transferred his UK pension to India with our guidance. For him, consolidating his pension in India meant better control over his retirement corpus and easier planning for family wealth.
-
A well-known doctor who had served patients in the UK for decades chose to move his pension funds to India when he returned home. We structured the transfer so that his savings could support both his lifestyle and his charitable commitments in India.
These are just two examples among many families who trusted us to bring their retirement wealth home. Each case is unique, but the goal is always the same ensure clients receive the maximum benefit of their hard-earned pensions while staying fully compliant with UK HMRC rules and Indian regulations.
