What Is Surrogacy in India?

Surrogacy in India is gestational โ€” the surrogate carries an embryo created through IVF and has no genetic link to the baby. Under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, only altruistic surrogacy is permitted: the surrogate receives no fee beyond approved medical costs and insurance.

Every journey is built around legal eligibility, a willing surrogate, and the certificates the law requires โ€” not a commercial transaction. Vinsfertility handles the medical and legal coordination with registered partner clinics so the path is clear from day one.
