India permits altruistic surrogacy under regulated conditions. The Surrogacy (Regulation) Act prohibits commercial surrogacy and allows specified medical and related expenses and insurance coverage for the surrogate mother.

What should prospective applicants check?

Review the Act and the applicable rules for your circumstances with a registered clinic and the appropriate authority. Ask what eligibility and medical certificates are required and how insurance will be arranged. Request a written breakdown of lawful medical and related expenses before committing. Costs vary by the medical care required.
