Explore the Legal Framework for Fertility Treatments in India

Introduction Welcome to Aastha Fertility Care’s comprehensive guide to the legalities governing fertility treatments in India. Our dedication to providing you with the most accurate and legally compliant care is reflected in our adherence to India’s intricate legal framework for assisted reproductive technology (ART), surrogacy, and related treatments.

Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 India’s stance on surrogacy is encapsulated in the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, which we follow rigorously at our center. This legislation outlines the permissible frameworks for altruistic surrogacy, advocating for the protection and rights of surrogate mothers and children born through this process. It explicitly prohibits commercial surrogacy to ensure that the practice is ethical and responsible. You can read the full act here.

Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021 The Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, is a key piece of legislation that we at Aastha Fertility Care abide by. It sets forth the protocols for the operation of ART clinics and banks, emphasizing the importance of ethical practices in fertility treatments. The act protects the rights of all parties involved in ART procedures, including donors, recipients, and the resulting offspring. The complete text of the act can be accessed here.

Key Provisions of the ART Act

• Establishment of National and State ART & Surrogacy Boards.
• Stringent guidelines for ART clinics and sperm banks.
