Britain – India – Nepal Tripartite Agreement The Tripartite Agreement between the United Kingdom , India and Nepal was a treaty signed in 1947 concerning the rights of Gurkha s in military service . Background . From the first quarter of the 19th century , Gurkhas from Nepal had served under the British , first in the armies of the East India Company , and then the British Indian Army . The terms and conditions of service for the Gurkhas were solely a matter for the British Indian authorities , without reference to the British Government in London . In 1947 , India became independent from the United Kingdom , and it was decided between the two governments to split the Gurkha regiment s between the British and Indian armies — six Gurkha units became part of the new Indian Army , while four were transferred to the British Army : As a part of this arrangement , it was agreed that Gurkhas in British and Indian service should enjoy broadly the same conditions of service , to ensure that there was no unfair advantage to serving in one or other , thus maintaining economic stability and social harmony in the Gurkha recruiting areas . Thus , the governments of the United Kingdom , India and Nepal came to sign the Tripartite Agreement ( TPA ) . Main terms . The main points of the agreement are : The agreement applies to the 3 , 500 Gurkhas serving in the British Army , and close to 40 , 000 Gurkhas in the Indian Army . It does not apply to Gurkhas in the Nepalese Army . The TPA underpins the unique terms and conditions of service of the Gurkha soldier which in a number of key areas differ markedly from those of his British or Commonwealth counterpart . Such differences arise because of the need to maintain broad comparability with certain Indian Army conditions of service , to protect the Gurkha national , religious , cultural and domicile status and the need for Gurkhas to maintain close links with Nepal throughout their service . It is against this background that the UK Government has continued to maintain separate terms and conditions of service for Gurkhas . New Gurkha Conditions and Terms of Service . The maintenance of different terms and conditions for Gurkha soldiers as opposed to their British counterparts has been a source of friction in recent years , particularly in regard to pension provision . While Gurkha pensions provide a high standard of living in Nepal , they were calculated at a fraction of the pensions provided to British soldiers . As a consequence , in January 2005 , the British Government announced a review of Gurkha terms and conditions to attempt to rectify these inequalities . In May 2007 , a new set of proposals was adopted , with a number of points in different areas : A major proposal is the drawing up of a bilateral memorandum of understanding between the governments of Britain and Nepal , and allowing the TPA to lie . It is unclear how this would affect the recruitment of Gurkhas in the Indian Army .
