There is a certain bravery in a woman who says – “I will carry this baby for you.” No financial motive. Just love, empathy and a quiet determination to help someone become a parent. Now that is altruistic surrogacy. At Ekmi Fertility, we have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of surrogacy on both the family that receives a gift, and the surrogate mother who gives it.
If you’ve had failed IVF cycles, recurrent pregnancy loss or a medical issue that makes carrying a baby unsafe – this route is the one that may finally bring your child home.

What Is Altruistic Surrogacy?
Altruistic surrogacy refers to when a woman agrees to carry a pregnancy for an intended family without commercial compensation. This is the only legally permissible type of surrogacy in India and was contemplated by the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021.
The surrogate needs to be a close blood relative of the intended couple – a big departure from surrogacy as it was practiced before. Her medical expenses are covered; she has insurance, but no additional compensation whatsoever. It’s a deeply personal arrangement. And it requires trust, clarity and expert guidance from day one.
What the Surrogacy Laws Say
Here’s what you should know before you get started:
- Only altruistic surrogacy is allowed – commercial surrogacy is illegal
- The surrogate mother is a close relative willing enough, aged range 25-35 in age
- She must have at least one biological child of her own.
- Intended couples must marry legally for a minimum of 5 years
- State and National Surrogacy Boards approval is required for all arrangements
- For there to be medical necessity for the intended mother, a surrogacy doctor in India must certify it
And understanding these laws isn’t optional – it’s the basis for a safe and legal journey.

Tips to Manage Surrogacy Cost
Understanding the surrogacy cost in India can help intended parents with their treatment and finances in arranging all things involved. The average surrogacy cost in India depends on IVF, medicines, medical services (hospital etc) and surrogate-related expenses.
- Obtain a breakdown of costs: Know the costs related to IVF, embryo transfer, medications, screening and surrogate care.
- Verify package inclusions: Check what services, such as medical, pregnancy and delivery services are included.
- Prepare for unexpected expenses: Budget an emergency fund for additional medicines, investigations or treatment if needed.
- Inquire about legal fees: Get clear on documentation, permits, and other regulatory costs from the beginning.

FAQs
Q. Would we do IVF first before surrogacy?
Yes – unless there’s an obvious medical reason surrogacy is required, the overwhelming advice from fertility specialists is to try IVF first. You will get the unvarnished truth from Ekmi Fertility.
Q. IVF included in surrogacy packages – how many?
It depends on the package. We’ll guide you through what’s offered without your signing on to anything.
Q. What rights does the surrogacy mother have over that child?
No. Under existing surrogacy laws, the child is legally the intended parents from birth. The surrogate waives her parental rights before the process even starts.
Q. How long is the process of altruistic surrogacy in India?
Usually 18-24 months, factoring in legal processes, IVF cycles and the pregnancy. Your surrogacy doctor in India will provide an expected timeframe based on your situation.
