Surrogacy Services
A Medically Guided & Legally Compliant Path to Parenthood
Trusted Scans for Every Stage
Compassionate Surrogacy Care at Krishvi IVF Centre
For some individuals and couples, carrying a pregnancy may not be medically possible or safe. In such situations, surrogacy may provide an alternative pathway to parenthood when the required medical and legal conditions are fulfilled.
At Krishvi IVF Centre & Women’s Hospital, South Bopal, Ahmedabad, we provide fertility evaluation, IVF treatment and guidance for eligible patients considering surrogacy. Our approach combines personalised fertility care, advanced reproductive technology and support through the medical and documentation requirements involved in the process.
Surrogacy in India is strictly regulated. We follow the applicable provisions of the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, Rules and subsequent amendments, and help patients understand the requirements before proceeding with treatment.
Understanding Surrogacy
What Is Surrogacy?
Surrogacy is a reproductive arrangement in which a woman carries a pregnancy and gives birth to a child for the intending parent or intending couple, with the intention that the child is raised by the intended parent(s).
In gestational surrogacy, an embryo created through assisted reproductive technology is transferred to the uterus of the surrogate mother.
The surrogate mother does not provide her own egg for the pregnancy.
Surrogacy involves both medical treatment and legal requirements, so proper evaluation and documentation are important before beginning the procedure.
Surrogacy in India
What Does the Surrogacy Law Say?
Surrogacy in India is regulated under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, along with the applicable Rules, Regulations and amendments.
The law was introduced to regulate surrogacy practices, protect the health and rights of surrogate mothers and children, prevent exploitation and prohibit the commercialisation of surrogacy.
Under Indian law, commercial surrogacy is prohibited. Permitted surrogacy must follow the conditions prescribed under the applicable legal framework.
At Krishvi IVF, patients are guided according to the medical and legal requirements applicable to their individual circumstances.
Altruistic Surrogacy
What Is Altruistic Surrogacy?
India permits altruistic surrogacy, rather than commercial surrogacy.
In altruistic surrogacy, the surrogate mother does not receive commercial remuneration or payment for carrying the pregnancy.
However, the law provides for certain permitted medical expenses, prescribed expenses, and insurance coverage for the surrogate mother, subject to the applicable rules.
The purpose of this framework is to allow eligible patients to pursue parenthood while reducing the risk of exploitation and commercialisation.
Who Can Avail Surrogacy?
Is Surrogacy Available for Everyone?
Surrogacy is not recommended or legally available simply because someone is experiencing difficulty conceiving.
The intending couple or intending woman must satisfy the eligibility requirements under Indian law and must have an appropriate medical indication for gestational surrogacy.
Depending on the individual case, the process may involve:
- Detailed fertility and medical evaluation
- Assessment of the medical indication for surrogacy
- Age and eligibility verification
- Required medical certificates
- Eligibility and essentiality certificates
- Appropriate Authority procedures
- Documentation relating to the surrogate mother
- Other requirements prescribed under applicable law
Important
Infertility alone does not automatically qualify a person or couple for surrogacy.
Eligibility is determined according to the applicable law, medical assessment and required approvals.
Who Can Be a Surrogate Mother?
Requirements for a Surrogate Mother
A woman acting as a surrogate mother must meet the eligibility conditions prescribed under Indian law.
These requirements include prescribed conditions relating to:
- Age
- Marriage and motherhood
- Medical fitness
- Psychological fitness
- Willingness and informed consent
- Required medical and legal certifications
The surrogate mother must voluntarily agree to the arrangement and must not provide her own egg for the surrogacy procedure.
The exact eligibility requirements should be assessed according to the current applicable Rules and the individual’s circumstances.
Medical & Legal Surrogacy Process
A Step-by-Step Journey
Surrogacy involves several medical and legal stages. The exact pathway and timeline can vary from one case to another.
01. Initial Consultation
The journey begins with a consultation with a fertility specialist.
Your medical history, fertility status and reason for considering surrogacy are reviewed to determine whether further evaluation is required.
02. Medical Evaluation
The intending parent(s) undergo appropriate fertility and medical investigations.
The doctor evaluates whether gestational surrogacy may be medically indicated.
03. Medical & Legal Eligibility
The required medical indication and eligibility conditions are assessed according to the applicable law.
Necessary documentation and certifications are prepared as required.
04. Surrogate Mother Evaluation
The proposed surrogate mother is assessed for the applicable medical, psychological and legal eligibility requirements.
05. Required Approvals
The necessary certificates and approvals are obtained from the relevant authorities before proceeding with the surrogacy procedure.
06. IVF & Embryo Creation
Once the required medical and legal conditions are fulfilled, IVF treatment may be planned.
Egg retrieval, fertilisation and embryo development are performed according to the fertility treatment plan.
07. Embryo Transfer
An appropriate embryo is transferred into the uterus of the eligible surrogate mother according to the treatment plan.
08. Pregnancy Monitoring
Once pregnancy is established, regular antenatal monitoring is carried out to support the health of the surrogate mother and developing baby.
How Long Does the Surrogacy Process Take?
Every Journey Has Its Own Timeline
There is no single fixed timeline for completing the entire surrogacy process.
The duration can depend on several factors, including:
- Medical evaluation
- Required investigations
- Medical Board assessment
- Preparation of documents
- Certificates and approvals
- Surrogate mother eligibility
- IVF treatment planning
- Embryo development
- Individual medical circumstances
Therefore, patients should be cautious of anyone promising a guaranteed or fixed completion time.
After reviewing your individual circumstances, our fertility team can explain the expected medical and administrative stages involved in your journey.
