Us Refusing Social Security Agreement With India
From the
Hindustan Times:
The US has refused to enter into a social security agreement with India, something that New Delhi has been pursuing for over a decade, which would have benefited lakhs [hundreds of thousands] of Indian workers who have worked or working there on short-tem visas.
The US said they cannot agree for such a pact as the social security
regimes in two countries are not compatible. India have been arguing
that despite different systems of social security in place, European
countries like Germany and France, as well as Canada have inked such
pacts with India. ...
"Countries like France and Germany, with whom US has a similar pact, had entered into a social security agreement
with us. These countries also have social systems different from that
of US," said Indian sources. Incidentally, Japan and South Korea are the
two countries US have social security pacts with in Asia.
