Under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, India permits only altruistic surrogacy, prohibiting any monetary compensation to surrogate mothers beyond medical expenses and insurance coverage. The Act outlines eligibility criteria, including age restrictions (23–50 years for women) and marital status, and mandates written informed consent from the surrogate. Commercial surrogacy is strictly prohibited, with penalties for violations. For comprehensive information, refer to the official National ART & Surrogacy Portal: (artsurrogacy.gov.in) and the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 on India Code: (India Code).
Surrogacy mother charges in India are regulated under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, which allows only altruistic surrogacy. This means a surrogate mother cannot be paid beyond approved medical expenses and insurance coverage. All clinics and arrangements must be registered and compliant with the National ART & Surrogacy Portal to be legally valid.
