By means of Decree No. 11,916/2024, the Treaty between Brazil and India on Social Security was enacted.
Broadly speaking, the Treaty aims to ensure that workers from one country (Brazil, for example) working in another country (India) are entitled to social security and welfare benefits, provided that the procedures set forth therein are followed. In other words, the Treaty regulates the “export of benefits,” that is, when benefits owed by one country under its legislation are paid to a resident of the other country.
In an increasingly globalized world, with transnational companies headquartered in India sending employees to work in Brazil, and vice versa, the Treaty must be observed by expatriates when changing their domicile, in order to adopt all procedures
necessary to ensure social security benefits.
