India allows only altruistic surrogacy under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, enforced since January 2022. Commercial surrogacy is strictly banned. Only Indian heterosexual couples (or divorcee/widows aged 35–45), married for at least five years, and medically infertile, are eligible. The surrogate must be a close relative, aged 25–35, have at least one child, and can act as a surrogate only once. Clinics must be registered under the Act and follow the law. https://www.indiacode.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/17031/1/A2021-42%20.pdf
