Surrogacy has emerged as a hopeful path to parenthood for many couples facing fertility challenges. At Surrogacy Centre India, we believe in helping aspiring parents make informed decisions by understanding the different types of surrogacies available—primarily, altruistic surrogacy and commercial surrogacy.
What is Altruistic Surrogacy?
Altruistic surrogacy refers to a surrogacy arrangement where the surrogate mother offers to carry a child for the intended parents without any monetary compensation, apart from medical and pregnancy-related expenses. Typically, the surrogate is a close relative or friend who volunteers out of compassion or a strong emotional bond.
Key Features of Altruistic Surrogacy:
No commercial compensation involved
Only reasonable expenses (medical, legal, nutritional care) are covered
Encouraged under the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 in India
Focuses on ethical and non-commercial intentions
Legally recognized and regulated in India
What is Commercial Surrogacy?
Commercial surrogacy involves a financial agreement where the surrogate mother is compensated beyond basic medical expenses. This form of surrogacy was once popular in many parts of the world, including India, but has been banned under Indian law since 2015, and further regulated by the Surrogacy Act, 2021.
Key Features of Commercial Surrogacy:
Involves payment to the surrogate for her services
Previously attracted foreign nationals seeking affordable options in India
Now banned in India to prevent exploitation and ensure ethical practices
Still practiced in some countries with proper legal frameworks
Why Altruistic Surrogacy is the Legal and Ethical Choice in India
At Surrogacy Centre India, we strictly adhere to the guidelines laid out by Indian surrogacy law. The move to ban commercial surrogacy and promote altruistic surrogacy aims to:
Protect the rights and health of the surrogate mother
Ensure the process is driven by compassion, not commercial interest
Prevent exploitation of vulnerable women
We offer end-to-end support in altruistic surrogacy, including legal advice, medical screening, IVF procedures, and emotional counseling.
