Unfair to call insurance break for Indian workers in UK a 'give away': Piyush Goyal

Piyush Goyal Defends UK Insurance Break for Indian Workers: Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has defended the UK's insurance concession for Indian professionals, rejecting claims that it was a "giveaway." He clarified that it is a mutually beneficial agreement aimed at avoiding double contribution to social security funds for Indian professionals temporarily working in Britain for up to three years. This provision, part of the broader India-UK trade agreement, is expected to lead to significant financial gains for Indian service providers and enhance the competitiveness of domestic professionals in the UK market.
