For families living in India
Can families living in India use an egg donor? Yes. Under the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, married couples and single women can use donor eggs at a registered ART clinic in India. Indian egg donors must be ever-married women aged 23–35 with a child at least 3 years old, may donate only once, and no more than seven eggs can be retrieved. Families who want a wider donor choice, detailed donor profiles or FDA-standard testing can instead complete IVF and embryo transfer with a USA clinic through IndianEggDonors.com.
Two legal routes
Most families we speak with in India are weighing the same two options. Here is how they differ.
Route A · In India
Treatment stays close to home and costs less. Donors are sourced by registered ART banks under the ART Act.
Best for: couples who meet the eligibility rules and prefer treatment in India.
Route B · In the USA
You choose from our South Asian donor pool, and IVF and embryo transfer take place at a licensed USA clinic.
Best for: families who want a specific community match, more donor information, or who don’t qualify under Indian law.
Side by side
Know the rules
Indian fertility law carries serious penalties. Every program we arrange for families in India is designed around it.
Need a surrogate?
In India, surrogacy is altruistic only and open to married Indian couples (wife 23–50, husband 26–55) with a certified medical need, and to widowed or divorced women aged 35–45. Since February 2024, a couple may use one donor egg or sperm if a District Medical Board certifies it is medically necessary — the child must still carry at least one parent’s gamete.
Families who don’t qualify can explore gestational surrogacy in the USA through our affiliated NYS-licensed surrogacy program (License GSP220903), from around US$120,000. An Indian family-law attorney should advise on your child’s citizenship and travel documents before you begin.

Why families in India choose us
Find a donor who shares your roots — Punjabi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali and more, with religious preferences respected.
Donors are evaluated under medical supervision, including carrier screening for conditions more common in South Asian populations, such as beta-thalassemia.
We tell you up front what is and isn’t allowed in India, so you don’t lose time or money on a route that won’t work.
We begin by understanding your goals—whether you’re a couple, single parent, LGBTQ+ parent, or overseas intended parent. We then cover costs, timelines, and legalities and answer all your questions.
Yes. The Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021 permits donor egg IVF at registered ART clinics, using eggs supplied by a registered ART bank. Donors and recipients must meet the Act’s age, consent and insurance rules.
An egg donor in India must be an ever-married woman aged 23–35 with at least one living child of her own who is at least three years old. She can donate only once in her lifetime, no more than seven eggs can be retrieved, and her eggs can go to only one recipient.
Under the ART Act, a woman above 21 can seek ART services, including donor egg IVF, at a registered clinic. Surrogacy rules for single women are narrower: only widowed or divorced women aged 35–45 qualify, and they must use their own eggs.
Generally, no. The ART Act restricts importing human embryos and gametes into India, and donor embryos in particular cannot be shipped in for treatment. That is why embryo transfer in our USA program takes place at the USA clinic.
Our USA program typically costs US$18,000–48,000, covering donor compensation, screening, coordination, clinic fees, medication and legal contracts. Travel and accommodation are extra. All costs are confirmed in writing before you commit.
No. Sex selection is prohibited in India, and we do not offer it to families in India. Embryo screening is used only for medical reasons such as inherited genetic disease.
Only in limited cases. Since February 2024, a married couple may use one donor gamete for surrogacy if a District Medical Board certifies a medical need, as long as the child has at least one gamete from the couple. Surrogacy in India must be altruistic.
Most families receive initial donor profiles within days of intake. A formal match is typically finalised in 2–6 weeks, depending on how specific your community or religious preferences are.
Tell us where you are in your journey. We’ll explain what’s possible under Indian law, what the USA program involves, and what it would cost for your family.
