India now has agreements on social security with twenty-one nations. various agreements provide mutually beneficial social security coverage for workers from various countries. When nationals of these nations work on each other's soil, their social security benefits are not stopped.

These agreements are critical to India's efforts to harness the demographic dividend and promote international mobility. In India, the body responsible for carrying out these social security agreements is the EPFO.
