Commenting on the implications of the deal, **Jidesh Kumar** highlighted the potential benefits arising from the Double Contributions Convention (DCC), particularly for businesses seconding employees between India and the UK. ![](https://ksandk.com/wp-content/uploads/Website-PR-update-49.png) Jidesh noted that the DCC is projected to save Indian firms and workers more than ₹14,000 crore, while the extension of the exemption for detached workers to 60 months could help boost take-home pay for employees and reduce costs for employers seconding staff overseas. His comments were published in a recent *Mint* article, “India’s Startups Look to UK as Trade Deal Opens New Opportunities,” which examines how the India-UK trade deal could facilitate greater cross-border business activity and create opportunities for Indian startups and companies seeking to expand into the UK market.
