Discuss your care options →Understanding your options
Donor programmes use eggs, sperm, or embryos from a donor when a person's own gametes are unlikely to lead to pregnancy, or to avoid passing on a genetic condition. In India, donation is governed by the ART (Regulation) Act, 2021: donors are sourced through registered ART banks, donor identity is kept confidential, and eligibility and screening rules apply.
Indian law sets strict donor rules, including age limits, screening, and anonymity, and prohibits sex selection. Confirm what is permitted for your situation and nationality with the registered clinic before travelling.
Questions for your consultation
- Is a donor programme legally available to us in India?
- How are donors screened for infectious and genetic conditions?
- What documents will we need for parentage and citizenship in our home country?
Cost of Donor Egg and Sperm Programme in India
An individual estimate needs a defined plan and provider review. Ask for a written breakdown rather than comparing package names alone.
- Donor programme and ART bank charges
- IVF or ICSI procedures and recipient preparation
- Embryo freezing, storage, and legal documentation
Confirm what is included, quotation validity, possible additional charges, and cancellation terms. Allow separately for accommodation, travel, local transfers, coordination fees, and care after returning home.
Recovery and follow-up planning
Recipient preparation and embryo transfer usually need a shorter stay than a full IVF cycle. Take advice on legal parenthood and the child's citizenship in your home country before starting.
