I think there is an exhaustion associated with living abroad and attempting to create a family from thousands of miles away. If you are an OCI couple your well-acquainted with it – the time zone calls to doctors, the strange laws of long ago foreign countries where they seem custom geared to financially destroy you. Most arrive at Ekmi Fertility not because they had Googled ‘best surrogacy clinic’, but because someone who has walked that road says to give us a call. We know that they return to India, and we understand why this is so effective.
India Understands What You’re Carrying
An OCI couple does not simply come along in with a case record. They come with years of trying, hoping and heart aching in silence, to arrive at a place where they know no one even begins to grasp the cultural burden of childlessness. Our fertility specialists get that. It shapes every consultation. If the next step is IVF with a surrogate, or even simply surrogacy, Ekmi Fertility does not push you to make a quick decision.
Legal Ground Is More Clear Than You Think
Getting to an answer about surrogacy law in India for OCI couples, can be one of the greatest fears they cope with abroad. Here’s what actually matters:
- Altruistic surrogacy is allowed for eligible couples with a demonstrable medical necessity under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act of India.
- OCI cardholders must meet specific eligibility criteria – our surrogacy doctor walks every couple through this before anything else begins.
- Because it is a reproductive process that bears legal meaning and emotional significance, who the surrogate mother is also a close genetic relative.
- Everything related to documentation, whether it is court orders or medical eligibility, is processed in accordance with the law
No guesswork. No surprises mid-process.
The Cost Discussion No One Wants to Have – But Should
The cost of surrogacy may vary from anywhere between Rs.80L to Rs.1.5 crore in countries like the UK, US or Australia. This medical journey costs couples that much in western countries, whereas it is completed for Rs.15-23 lakhs in India. That’s not a compromise. That is simply the price of ethical, effective care here. There are no surprises with our surrogacy packages for OCI couple.
