Central Government in its recent amendment made to Surrogacy (Regulation) Rules, 2022 vide a notification dated 21/02/2024, has notified that the couples (husband or wife) certified as suffering from medical conditions, both gametes need not come from the intending couple.


This is a very crucial development and will benefit many intending parents. The new rule reads as under :

(i) couple undergoing surrogacy must have both gamete from the intending couple. However, in case when the District Medical Board certifies that either husband or wife constituting the intending couple suffers from medical condition necessitating use of donor gamete then surrogacy using donor gamete is allowed subject to the condition that the child to be born through surrogacy must have atleast one gamete from the intending couple;


(ii) single woman (widow or divorcee) undergoing surrogacy must use self eggs and donor sperms to avail surrogacy procedure”.


So now role of the District Medical Board has become more important. This amendment is, perhaps the result of various petitions filed in the Constitutional Courts across India, which pleaded that the Husband/wife who are otherwise suffering from the medical problems could not opt for the Surrogacy as Donors gamets were barred. 


Thanks and regards
