TO avoid double payment of social security contributions, India has
signed many Social Security Agreements. Two such agreements with Luxembourg and
France were signed some time back. Now, the EPFO has notified that the
provisions of these agreements have come into effect from July 1,
2011.
As
per the Circulars issued, to avoid double payments, the employer and the
employee are required to make joint application to the competent authority in
the home country.
