HDFC Life Click 2 Retire in India is removed in HMRC’s recognised overseas pension schemes notification changes dated 3 August 2026. That round records 14 additions and five removals for AustraliaGOVGOV, one removal for IndiaGOV, and one addition and one removal for Jersey. Advisers arranging overseas pension transfers should check the specific receiving scheme and assess the tax treatment of the transfer; a notification-list entry is not a guarantee of recognised status or freedom from UK taxGOVGOV.

Australia accounts for five removals: Banks Family Super Fund; Dean and Debi Super Fund; Horlor Family Retirement Fund; S and L Chandler Super Fund; and W & M Ritchie Superannuation Fund. India’s removal is HDFC Life Click 2 Retire. In Jersey, Intertrust Income Replacement Plan (Jersey Corporate) is removed and Jonathan Le Brun Approved Drawdown Contract is added.

Australia’s additions include Birch Family Super Fund, Cooper & Co. Superannuation Fund, Cranmer Lake Superannuation Fund, Daisy Dog Super Fund, HGCG Super Fund, Joarder Family SF and John J Jenkinson Super Fund.

The other Australian additions are Malley ROPS Fund, Martanndale QROPS Fund, Owen Doyle SMSF, Pengelly SMSF, PMRSA, TW & KA Super Fund and Thompson Super.

The list contains schemes that have told HMRC they meet the conditions to be a recognised overseas pension scheme and have asked to be included. HMRC expressly warns that it cannot guarantee that listed schemes meet those conditionsGOV or that transfers to them will be free of UK taxGOV. The responsibility for establishing whether tax is payable on a transfer remains with the person transferring pension savings.

HMRC also says it will usually pursue UK tax charges and late-payment interest arising from transfers to overseas entities that do not meet the ROPS requirements, even where those entities appear on the listGOV. That warning includes cases where the requirements have changed or taxpayers are overseas; penalties may be charged where appropriate. Its guidance recommends suitable professional advice, including from a regulated financial adviser.

Scheme managers use form APSS251 to notify HMRC that their scheme is a ROPS and may also use it to report changes to scheme details. The statutory framework is the Finance Act 2004, sections 150(8) and 169.

Check the receiving scheme’s notification status and the UK tax treatment before arranging an overseas pension transfer.
