Understanding Altruistic Surrogacy: Laws, Costs, and
Procedures in India
Published byDr. Shivani Sachdev GouronSEPTEMBER 30, 2025
For couples struggling with infertility, surrogacy often provides a ray of hope to fulfill their
dream of parenthood. In India, altruistic surrogacy is the only legal form of surrogacy,
making it important for intended parents to understand its laws, costs, and procedures. At
SCI IVF Hospital, we guide couples through every step of this sensitive and life-changing
journey.
What is Altruistic Surrogacy?
Altruistic surrogacy involves a surrogate mother carrying a child for intended parents
without any financial compensation, except medical expenses and insurance. This ensures
ethical practices and safeguards for both the surrogate and the intended parents.
Surrogacy Laws in India
Under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, commercial surrogacy is strictly prohibited. Only
altruistic surrogacy is allowed, and couples must meet specific eligibility criteria:
Married heterosexual couples
Female partner aged 23–50 years and male partner aged 26–55 years
No surviving biological or adopted child (with some exceptions)
These laws are designed to protect the rights of surrogate mothers and promote
transparency in the process.
Surrogacy Procedure at SCI IVF Hospital
1. Medical Evaluation – Detailed fertility assessments of the intended parents.
2. Legal Documentation – Ensuring compliance with Indian surrogacy regulations.
3. IVF & Embryo Transfer – Embryos created using the couple’s gametes (or donor if
required) are transferred to the surrogate.
4. Pregnancy Care – Continuous medical monitoring, counseling, and support throughout
pregnancy.
5. Birth & Legal Parentage – Legal safeguards ensure the intended parents are recognized
as the child’s legal guardians.
Cost of Altruistic Surrogacy in India
While exact expenses vary, altruistic surrogacy cost in Delhi, India generally covers:
Medical treatments (IVF, medications, tests)
Surrogate’s healthcare and pregnancy-related expenses
Legal documentation and insurance
