Surrogacy Cost in India ₹15–20 Lakh with Assured Plans

Surrogacy Overview

When you hear about our country, India, you think about its diverse culture and the myriads of people who live here, right? The science and technological advancements we are applying today in our daily lives have reached a point where we can combat infertility as well. Infertility can be exhausting, but the Indian surrogacy programs offer you the best facility at affordable prices. To achieve a milestone, you have to take your first single step to achieve that. Likewise, to overcome your infertility, you have to take your first step and seek help from one of the fertility clinics in India where surrogacy is more than a process because it’s a journey fueled by empathy, resilience, and mutual respect between the intended parents, the surrogate, and the center where you are seeking treatment. So, let’s move ahead together and accomplish your parenthood dream.

What is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is a medical process in which two parties are involved — the surrogate mother and the intended parents. The surrogate carries and delivers a child on behalf of the intended parents.

The embryo is implanted inside the surrogate's womb which is formed by IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) using:

• Eggs and sperm from the intended parents

• Eggs/sperm from a donor (to ensure the genetic link of the baby with the intended parents).
   

What are the types of Surrogacies?

Surrogacy can be of two types: Gestational Surrogacy and Traditional Surrogacy.

1. Gestational Surrogacy
In Gestational Surrogacy, the eggs are retrieved from the intended mother and the sperm from the intended father or either of both from a donor, keeping the baby's genetic link to the intended parents intact.

• This is the common type of surrogacy practiced in India.

• The surrogate has no biological relationship with the child, as the embryo is created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) .

 
2. Traditional Surrogacy
In Traditional Surrogacy, the eggs used are from the surrogate, and and sperm is utilized either from the intended father or from the sperm donor.

• This method is less commonly practiced in India.

• The surrogate is the biological mother of the child.
   

Below is a comparison of past and present techniques in gestational surrogacy:

 
 

Aspect	Past Techniques	Present Techniques
Genetic Link	Surrogates are often genetically linked to child	Surrogate is not genetically linked to the child
Embryo Transfer	Only fresh embryo transfer was possible	Fresh and frozen embryo transfers are available
IVF Success Rate	Low success rates	High success rates with advanced technology
Genetic Testing	Not available	PGT ensures embryo health and genetic normality
Uterine Preparation	Basic hormonal support	Customized protocols for better results
Technological Tools	Basic lab equipment	Advanced incubators and cryopreservation techniques
Note: 1. Some clinics through gestational surrogacy provide more than one embryo transfer, which increases the chance of pregnancy and that is also a reason why the probability of giving birth to twins is high in surrogacy. 2. In Gestational Surrogacy, Donor eggs are used when the intended mother doesn’t have viable eggs, and donor sperms are used when the intended father’s sperms have less motility and low count.

 

Surrogacy Types Based on Compensation

Surrogacy arrangements can also be classified based on the financial arrangement involved:

Type	Description
Altruistic Surrogacy	A surrogate is not compensated financially, except for medical, legal, and related expenses. Usually involves someone close to the intended parents.
Commercial Surrogacy	Involves financial compensation to the surrogate. This is now prohibited in India.

 

Difference between Independent Surrogacy and Agency Surrogacy

When you are exploring surrogacy, it's also important to understand the differences between independent surrogacy and agency surrogacy. The right choice between the two depends on your needs, situation, support system, financial aid, clinic policies, and resources available.

 

Whether independent or managed by any agency, overall health screening is an investment in the well-being of all parties involved and the success of the surrogacy journey.
The right agency treats you like a person, not a transaction - with trust, transparent communication, and a personal touch that says- We are together till the end of the process.

How does Surrogacy work with Vinsfertility?

Surrogacy in India is no longer a taboo, and here at Vinsfertility, many dreams of couples with infertility issues have become true — we are leading the way! The journey of couples who prefer treating their infertility through Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) breaks the stigma around infertility and encourages others to seek help.

At Vinsfertility, we are dedicated to converting your parenthood dream into reality. Surrogacy, for us, goes beyond biology and medical procedure. It’s a meaningful journey where you will feel several emotions, but in the end, everything will be exhilarating. At Vinsfertility , we combine science with care and empathy to help you experience the greatest joy of holding your child in your arms. The connection we build with our patients cannot be justified in mere words, as we understand how overwhelming it is to not have a child of your own. We aim to meet end-to-end requirements once the patient applies for the surrogacy program at our center.

Step-by-Step Surrogacy Process

The surrogacy process at Vinsfertility starts with understanding and determining the preferences and qualities you need in a surrogate. This is followed by an intensive investigation where we find an ideal surrogate mother for you. Surrogates at Vinsfertility are healthy, experienced, and communicative.
Once we finalize your surrogate, we proceed with the screening and examine the overall health of the surrogate as well as yours. After the screening, related tests, and scans, IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) is carried out to create an embryo for implanting it inside the surrogate.

Now the embryo creation can be done by following ways:

1. Using Self-Eggs and the Intended Father’s Sperm

Self-eggs refer to the eggs from the intended mother.

This involves combining the mother’s eggs with the father’s sperm, creating a biological connection to both parents.

2. Using Donor Eggs and Intended Father’s Sperm

Donor eggs are eggs provided by a female donor selected by you or the clinic.

Ideal for intended mothers who cannot produce healthy eggs while maintaining a genetic link to the intended father.

3. Using Donor Sperm and Self-Eggs

Donor sperm refers to sperm from a male donor selected by you or the clinic.

Suitable for divorced or widowed women, or in cases where the intended father’s sperm is unavailable. Embryos are created using the intended mother’s eggs and donor sperm. 

Depending on your case, we choose the ideal option and proceed with IVF. As a result of the IVF, an embryo is formed, which is implanted inside the uterus of the surrogate mother. A pregnancy test usually comes positive after 7–14 days, confirmed by detecting the hCG hormone in urine or blood. The surrogate carries the child on behalf of the intended parents for 9 months and gives birth to the child at the end of the last trimester. After the birth of the baby, neonatal care is also provided by our center, along with postpartum care to the surrogate mother. The intended parents are the legal parents of the child.

 

Step	Approx Duration
Initial consultation	1-2 weeks
Matching process	1-3 months
Medical evaluation	2-4 weeks
Legal Agreements	2-6 weeks
Preparation for IVF	4-6 weeks
Egg retrieval and fertilization	1-2 weeks
Embryo transfer to surrogate	1-2 weeks
Pregnancy confirmation	2-3 weeks after the embryo transfer
Gestation period	9 months
Birth and Handover	1-2 weeks after the delivery
Total duration	15-18 months

   

SUMMARY
Vinsfertility provides surrogacy services, including selecting a healthy surrogate mother, evaluating their health, signing contracts, and applying for approval, followed by IVF, resulting in a legal child.

 

Who needs Surrogacy?

 

“Parenthood is not just a matter of chance; it’s a choice you make.”
Choosing surrogacy means embarcing on a journey guided on care, ethics, and trust. At Vinsfertility, we follow the high standards and we understand that for many couples, conception by natural means is not possible in today’s world, hence they choose surrogacy to start their family.

Who Needs Surrogacy?

Surrogacy offers hope to those who thought parenthood was out of reach. With our expert medical support, advanced diagnostics, and compassionate approach, your dream of becoming a parent can become a reality. As infertility rates increase, the demand for surrogacy and IVF treatments has grown.

The table below highlights why infertility is more common today than it was in older times:

Aspect	Older Days	Nowadays
Lifestyle	Simpler, less stress, physical labor, and healthy diets	A sedentary lifestyle, high stress, processed food, and exposure to toxins
Age at Parenthood	Early marriages and parenthood typically in the 20s	Delayed marriages and parenthood due to career, education, and personal goals
Environmental Factors	Limited exposure to pollutants	Limited exposure to pollutants
Diet and Nutrition	Natural, homegrown, and minimally processed foods	Processed, fast food, and nutrient-deficient diets
Medical Awareness	Limited understanding and diagnosis of infertility issues	Advanced diagnostics uncovering previously undetected infertility causes
Use of Contraceptives	Minimal use of hormonal contraceptives	Widespread and long-term use of hormonal contraceptives affecting hormonal balance
Exposure to Chemicals	Limited exposure to chemicals in daily life	Increased exposure to pesticides, plastics, and industrial chemicals affecting fertility
Reproductive Health	Fewer sexually transmitted infections due to social norms and less mobility	Increased prevalence of STIs and untreated infections impacting fertility

 

Reasons Why You May Need Surrogacy

We know that becoming a parent means so much more than just physical health, and it can be an emotional rollercoaster for some. We nurture the emotional health of the intended parents and the surrogate so that when they walk this journey together in harmony.
Some of the possible reasons enlisted, which indicate that you need surrogacy.

1. Medical or genetic infertility- When infertility is caused by a disease or genetic factors

2. Health risks, miscarriages, or failed IVF cycles- If the intended mother cannot conceive due to health concerns, repeated miscarriages, or multiple IVF failures.

3. Hysterectomy -Women who have had a hysterectomy or do not have a uterus to carry a pregnancy.

4. Endometriosis- A condition affecting the uterus, making it difficult to conceive or carry a child.

5. PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease)- where a woman faces several menstrual issues and to some extent also faces fertility issues

Note: We understand the motherhood love, a woman carries for her child and aspires to conceive the child neglecting the health of her own. We advise all the intended mothers out there to think of their health first. Give surrogacy a chance, and you will thank the gift, life has given you forever.

SUMMARY
Surrogacy is a solution for couples facing infertility due to medical, genetic, or health risks, including multiple miscarriages, IVF cycle failures, or the absence of a uterus.  

 

Who Is Eligible to Opt for Surrogacy?

Surrogacy in India is performed in a way to provide rights to intended parents and surrogates which is accountable under the ethical and need to abide by surrogacy rules in India. To address the increasing fraud and exploitation of surrogacy and the surrogates in the name of the treatment, the Indian government has formed several laws and guidelines, which need to be followed by couples who are considering surrogacy for infertility treatment.
The laws established have very stringent eligibility criteria for surrogacy in India, which involve minimum legal age, marital status, and medical necessity. One of the most important facts is that surrogacy is limited exclusively to Indian citizens.

Eligibility Criteria Concerning Surrogacy in India:

1. Marital Status: If the Indian couple has been married for 5 years or more, then they are eligible to opt for surrogacy.

2. Age: The intended mother’s age should lie between 23-50 years and the intended father’s age should be between 26-55 years.

3. Surrogacy for Divorced and Widowed Women: Women falling into this category with 35-45 years of age can opt for surrogacy.

4. Medical Necessity: Intended parents should have some verified medical documents with themselves to prove their medical reason for opting for surrogacy in India.

SUMMARY

New laws on surrogacy in India prevent any kind of fraud or exploitation and impose strict eligibility criteria like legal age, marital status, and medical necessity.

 

How is a Surrogate Mother Selected and Arranged?

We live in a culturally rich country; we have kinds of people representing this rich heritage. Choosing a surrogate among people here can be tiring because you not only find a person who shares your values and hopes but also a person who can carry your child with utmost care and sincerity. Surrogacy is an emotional partnership built on mutual respect and understanding between the intended parents and the surrogate.
We ensure your comfort and satisfaction by providing the best surrogate arrangements to you, keeping your priorities and preferences into consideration as well as those of the surrogate

1. We assess the requirements you need in a surrogate and we have a healthcare team, that examines and screens the physical and psychological health of the surrogate.

2. Additionally, we ensure that the surrogate legal age is between 25 and 35 years

3. Once we are done with the surrogate selection, the very first step towards surrogacy is completing the legal procedure, signing the legal agreement, and getting approval from the state board.

4. The next step is complete screening of the medical, psychological, and social conditions of the surrogate through various clinical tests.

 
Surrogate arrangement can be done in two ways:

1. Clinic-Arranged Surrogate
   A surrogate is often arranged by the clinics or the agencies involved in ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology). Clinics provide you with the best surrogates to carry out surrogacy in India.

2. Surrogate Provided by Intended Parents
   A surrogate can also be arranged by the intended parents themselves, which is a form of surrogacy called Altruistic Surrogacy. Altruistic surrogacy can be performed when you choose someone you know to be your surrogate for the surrogacy process in India.

 
Using Somebody You Know as a Surrogate Mother

Use somebody you know, perhaps a friend or member of your family, as a surrogate to offer advantage. Cost saving and trust-building would be some of the additional advantages, as the shared values and personal connection tend to make this process feel comfortable and safe.
 
The table below shows the key differences between clinic-selected surrogates and those provided by intended parents:

Aspect	Surrogate selected by the clinic	Surrogate provided by the intended parents
Selection Process	The clinic selects the surrogate based on medical, psychological, and ethical criteria.	The intended parents choose a surrogate, often someone they know personally.
Medical Screening	The clinic ensures thorough medical and psychological evaluations of the surrogate.	The surrogate undergoes medical screening, often arranged by the intended parents, though some clinics may assist.
Legal and Ethical aspects	The clinic handles all legal paperwork and ensures the surrogate is aware of her rights and responsibilities.	Legal and ethical considerations are primarily managed by the intended parents, though clinics may provide guidance.
Experience and Support	Clinics typically select surrogates with prior experience or extensive support networks.	The surrogate may be inexperienced, and support for her may vary depending on the parents’ resources.
Medical Care and Treatment	The clinic oversees the surrogate's medical care, including IVF treatments and regular check-ups.	The intended parents are responsible for arranging the surrogate’s medical care, often in collaboration with the clinic.
Compensation and Agreement	Surrogacy laws in India do not allow compensation beyond medical expenses and legal fees. Clinics ensure that the surrogate is compensated for these costs.	Surrogates provided by the intended parents are not compensated beyond medical expenses and legal fees, as per Indian law. The parents directly arrange for these payments.

 

SUMMARY
Surrogacy involves selecting and arranging a surrogate mother, requiring legal approval, and medical, psychological, and social screening. Altruistic Surrogacy involves clinics or parents, handling paperwork and medical care.

 

What is included in the Surrogate Mother's Compensation

Surrogacy is a sensitive process that involves the emotions of both the parents and the surrogate. Through this process, we find the true meaning of compassion and selflessness, as a woman carries a child not for herself, but for someone else’s dream.A surrogate mother brings joy to life in one’s family. This process should not be mistaken as a job. The surrogate is not someone who is employed to do a job called surrogacy but is offered a chance by God to help a couple who cannot feel the happiness of having their own child naturally.
Hence, a country like India, where God is worshipped on a large scale and where ethics and values come first, does not compensate the surrogate commercially. However, the surrogate is provided monetary compensation for several essential purposes, including:

• Medical expenses

• Living allowance

• Dietary and nutrition requirements

• Clothing and travel expenses

• Postpartum care

The total surrogate’s compensation can vary depending on the following factors:

• Clinic and medical procedures

• Surrogate’s medical history

• Experience of the surrogate mother

• Complexities related to the health of the surrogate mother

 

SUMMARY
A surrogate mother’s compensation includes only monetary support like medical care, living allowance, food and nutrition, and postpartum care.

 

Treatments involved in Surrogacy

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) treatments are available all over the country now. As the advancement is increasing, knowledge related to science and technology is also spreading at a rapid pace.  If you are facing infertility or any other medical problems that are making you consider surrogacy for having a child, let me make this clear to you, these problems are not barriers; instead, they offer people to customize the process towards their parenthood dream.
Some of the common ART procedures have been listed below, followed by a discussion of each treatment, its purpose, and the specimens involved: IVF, IUI, ICSI, and PGT. Each procedure is adopted to improve the couple's chances of successful conception in cases where the couple faces some challenges in conceiving.

 

Treatment	Description	Specimen
IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization)	IVF is a method, where eggs are retrieved either from the intended mother or the egg donor and fertilized with the sperm from the intended father in a laboratory.	Sperm Intended Father Sperm Donor Egg Intended Mother Egg Donor
IUI (Intra Uterine Insemination)	IUI is a process where sperm from the intended father is directly placed into the uterus of the intended mother or surrogate during her ovulation.	Sperm Intended Father Sperm Donor
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection	ICSI is a specialized form of IVF where, a single sperm is injected directly into an egg for fertilization to take place, ensuring that even with low sperm viability, fertilization can still occur.	Sperm Intended Father Sperm Donor Egg Intended Mother Egg Donor
PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing)	PGT is performed on embryos before they are transferred into the surrogate’s uterus. This test screens embryos for genetic disorders or any chromosomal abnormalities, ensuring that only healthy embryos are selected for implantation.	Embryo Embryo formed after IVF/IUI

SUMMARY
The surrogacy process involves medical procedures that have some treatments such as IVF, IUI, ICSI, and PGT and these are all designed to achieve the highest effectiveness.

 

How do you prepare for Surrogacy in India?

Just because you’ve taken multiple pills, paid for surrogacy, and undergone all the treatments, injections, and tests doesn’t guarantee success.
Before going for any medical evaluation, it’s important to prepare yourself mentally and physically, because surrogacy works best when your body is ready to accept the treatment.
Once you’re ready to board the journey called surrogacy, we will help you throughout the process, and we have already started it by the time you read the first line of this blog. So, let’s understand some medical aspects of preparing for Surrogacy.

1. Start with understanding the surrogacy laws in India and do your research well.

2. Understand the process and select a reputable surrogacy agency.

3. Keep your lifestyle balanced with a healthy diet and keep your reproductive health good so that when eggs and sperm are used during IVF, they are viable enough to regulate a successful surrogacy.

4. Prepare yourself Financially. Estimate the total cost of Surrogacy in India according to your situation.

5. Prepare yourself psychologically because surrogacy is a long and overwhelming process.

6. Prepare your documents in advance for legal procedure.

Do’s and Don’ts of Surrogacy in India

 
Infertility Awareness Month

We are aware of treatments available under Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), but how many of us actually understand how to prevent infertility or what causes it in the first place?
We have a week that celebrates awareness regarding infertility called National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW), which is nationally celebrated in India in April and has had different themes over the years. We have to consider the problems faced by people trying for a family who have delayed access to care and overlooked the severity of infertility by opting for inefficient treatments.
During the awareness week, people share stories of theirs with others to make everyone aware of the causes of infertility. Different campaigns, fertility clinics, centers, and hospitals organize campaigns to spread awareness to as numerous people as possible.
When it comes to infertility-It was never a man, semen analysis is not important, you are also tired of hearing this right? Who sets these norms that don’t even make sense scientifically? They just started spreading like myths over the years and people believed them.

It can be men or women. The semen analysis is as important as screening the female's eggs.

When you want to find a solution for something, you research right, you don’t jump to the solution directly. Just like this, awareness regarding reproductive health is important, so that you can ultimately conclude with a better mindset.
With falling birth rates and rising ages let’s wear the orange color to represent that we stand together to combat and prevent infertility.
 
SUMMARY
National Infertility Awareness Week, is celebrated in India in April to aware people of reproductive health and possible causes of infertility.
 

How Much Does Surrogacy Cost in India in 2025?

Surrogacy cost in India is both affordable and effective. The average estimated cost of surrogacy in India ranges between INR 15 lakhs to INR 20 lakhs. This cost includes medical expenses, surrogate mother’s compensation, legal costs, and agency fees. However, the total cost can vary depending on several factors such as the need for donor, cesarean delivery, twin delivery, and multiple IVF attempts etc.
Vinsfertility does not have any hidden cost applicable to any of the surrogacy programs. We tend to explicitly discuss the customized surrogacy package and the costs involved in the treatments. One might wonder what are the possible factors that can affect the overall cost of surrogacy in India.
 

Factors affecting the cost of Surrogacy in India:

 

1. Area of a particular Surrogacy center and its credibility: The surrogacy clinics in India which are well-known for their respective locations charge more fees than other clinics at different locations for their various services.

2. Surrogate's Medical Conditions: If a surrogate has any health complication, then to combat that, the clinic runs some tests and goes through some advanced additional treatments which include medications and injections to lower the risk rate, this may add to the total cost of the surrogacy.

3. Number of implant cycles fails: Some clinics provide multiple IVF attempts at a fixed price. This includes multiple embryo transfer as well, which has a higher success rate than implanting one embryo inside the uterus.

4. Legal complications: The legal process is a tedious task you have to do when you are applying for surrogacy, during which the clinic helps you all the way or you can apply for it by hiring your lawyer. Many complications can arise while processing the documents related to surrogacy. The complication level of the legal procedure increases the overall cost.

5. Multiple births during and Caesarean at the time of birth: In some cases, the surrogate gives birth to twin babies, if the intended parents and the surrogate agree to keep them, we move ahead with the process. In some other cases where the surrogate might require a cesarean rather than giving a normal birth at the time of delivery, the total amount gets increased due to the involvement of different surgical techniques and healthcare professionals.

Comprehensive Medical Tests for Female and Male Partners

These tests assess their fertility reproductive health and general health to ensure that both parents are ready for the surrogacy process physically.

In the case of the female intended parent, the tests are mainly concerned with the evaluation of ovarian reserve, the condition of the uterus, hormone levels, and reproductive capability to determine the appropriate method of embryo creation. Comprehensive evaluation to test for communicable diseases and general well-being is equally important in preventing possible adverse effects during pregnancy.

 

2. Medical Tests for Male Intended Parents for Guaranteed Surrogacy Program

A genetic screening is also included in the assessment to establish the possibility of any inherited disorders.

Understanding Surrogacy Laws in India

Legal Aspects of Surrogacy in India

The Surrogacy Law in India makes it clear about transparency that everybody involved in the legal procedure should be duly informed and treated fairly by the respective parties. And it includes provisions for the surrogate's health and welfare, ensuring that she receives full support throughout the pregnancy. 
These changes prove that India is forging a new course in the surrogacy landscape, providing a secure, ethical, and regulated option to help create families and protect the well-being and rights of everyone involved. India formulated and implemented legislation on surrogacy with the enactment of the Surrogacy Regulation Act 2021 as well as Surrogacy Regulation Rules 2022.  The Act legalizes only altruistic surrogacy which in basic terms allows no compensation or any monetary gain to the surrogate mothers except for the medical and insurance costs which are incurred by the surrogate mother.

1. Eligibility: A couple opting for Surrogacy as an option should be married for 5+ years. Couples with a surviving biological child are generally allowed to pursue surrogacy only under exceptional circumstances.

2. Medical Records: The act also provides that there should be some medical reason for undertaking gestational surrogacy by either the couple or both.

4. Registered clinics: The legislation stipulates that no surrogate or surrogate-related activities shall be performed in the country except in registered clinics.

5. Age:The age limit for the intended mother should be 23-50 years, whereas the age limit for the intended father is 26-55 years 
The age limit for a surrogate mother is usually fixed in the range of 25-35 years, she should already have at least one child of her own and she has never been pregnant on someone’s behalf before.
A widowed or divorced woman can pursue surrogacy if she falls into the age category of 35-45 years

6. The procedure for a widowed or divorced woman to pursue Surrogacy includes:

a. First step is going through the legal procedure and attaining the final approval from the state board.
b. Followed by choosing a surrogate followed by a sperm donor.
c. If the intended mother has viable eggs, then the procedure continues with the same, or
d. The intended mother can also opt for the option of choosing an egg donor
e. Followed by IVF and embryo implantation inside the surrogate.

7. Indian Citizenship: The new law now permits all Indian citizens residing outside India, including holders of the OCI card to undertake surrogacy in India, removing earlier prohibitions. Foreigners who are not Indian citizens are not eligible for surrogacy in India.
