The medical side is difficult enough for anyone who is considering IVF and surrogacy from overseas. You’re already balancing timelines, meeting with fertility specialists, figuring out travel plans and carrying the emotional load of wanting a child so much that your heart hurts. The last thing you need is to understand India’s surrogacy laws on your own. Which is why Ekmi Fertility designed its legal support framework not as an afterthought, but at the heart of your journey.
Why Legal Side Appears So Complicated
The most significant development in surrogacy in India has undoubtedly been the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 which marks a huge change. They are applicable for OCI cardholders specifically, with eligibility criteria spelled out clearly, documentation requirements detailed and a thin error margin. Most intended parents who begin to research quickly come up against a wall of conflicting information available on-line.
What actually matters:
- Surrogacy laws currently require OCI cardholders be of a certain age and marital status
- Only altruistic surrogacy is now legally permitted and as such a surrogate mother must be a family member
- All contracts need to be registered with and verified through the relevant State and National Surrogacy Boards
- This sequence must start with medical certificates, psychological assessments, and legal affidavits
- Timings for getting approvals are very different, and a skip of a step can reset the whole process
None of this is impossible. It only seems complicated and difficult, while it simply takes someone who has done it before.
What Does Ekmi Fertility Actually Do For You
The moment you are matched with an experienced Ekmi Fertility surrogacy doctor, the legal process runs alongside your medical. We work through lawyers who only handle cases of surrogacy – not general family law.
In practice, this looks like:
- Before committing to anything, an in-depth examination of your OCI records and eligibility
- Preparation and filing all Board applications
- Legal vetting of your surrogacy agreement to protect all parties
- Step-by-step detailed guide of what and how and by when you need to prepare the documents
We don’t give you a checklist and send you on your way. Someone walks it with you.
Affordable Surrogacy Does Not Mean You Have to Compromise
One question that we get asked quite often is if the cost of surrogacy in India is much lower than western countries, are the legal process less thorough? No. Ekmi Fertility makes sure all of our surrogacy packages and guaranteed surrogacy program are based on full compliance.
Remember, affordable surrogacy means accessible – not compromised. The highest IVF success rates does not make the best surrogacy clinic. It’s the one that makes sure your child’s birth is legally recognized the moment they arrive.

FAQs
Q. Is surrogacy legal for OCI card holders in India at this moment?
Yes, but with conditions. Under the existing surrogacy laws in India, OCI card holders can avail altruistic surrogacy as long as they meet age, marital status and medical need. Before anything goes to the next step, Ekmi’s team assesses your specific case.
Q: How does IVF fit into the surrogacy process at Ekmi Fertility?
The embryo creation process is handled by Ekmi’s fertility specialists, while the legal and coordination teams manage the surrogacy-specific requirements. Both tracks move together.
Q: If our surrogacy doctor finds a medical issue halfway through the process, does that affect our legal process?
It depends on the specific problem; Ekmi Fertility’s team joins the medical and legal worlds to ensure that if anything changes from a clinical perspective, your board approvals or documentation can take place right away – not later.
