Austria to India relocation: Abmeldung, Finanzamt, Pensionskasse export, and ÖGK cancellation.

Abmeldung before Finanzamt
I complete Meldezettel Abmeldung at Gemeinde before notifying Finanzamt — the municipality date anchors residency cessation.
ÖGK (health) cancellation follows employment end — keep e-card deactivation confirmation.
Pensionskasse statement proves occupational pension accrual for future claims from India.
