India’s Provident Fund Framework for Expatriates in 2025: Key Updates, SSA Benefits, and Withdrawal Procedures

With the increasing mobility of global talent and India’s position as a key destination for international professionals, navigating the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) framework for expatriates has become strategically important. In 2025, the EPFO introduced EPFO 3.0 with automated settlements and simplified claim processes, making withdrawals faster while reinforcing compliance requirements for international workers.

At the same time, India is expanding its Social Security Agreement (SSA) framework. The recently signed India–UK Free Trade Agreement incorporates SSA provisions to prevent dual contributions, and negotiations with the EU and ASEAN economies are progressing. These developments are reshaping how expatriates and employers approach contributions, withdrawals, and transfer benefits across jurisdictions.

This webinar by on September 24, led by Dezan Shira & Associates experts, will provide practical insights into PF regulations for international workers, addressing the latest compliance updates, the role of SSAs in global mobility, and strategies for employers and expatriates to effectively manage their obligations and entitlements.

The webinar will cover the following:

  • Eligibility Criteria and Applicability of EPF for International Workers
  • Definition of Salary and Contribution Breakdown
  • Social Security Agreements: Concept, Benefits, and Claim Procedures
  • Exemptions and Available Alternatives in the Absence of an SSA
  • Case Studies and Q&A
