ABSTRACT


On January 25, 2022, the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act 2021 went into force. The Act permits selfless surrogacy while trying to outlaw commercial surrogacy. The surrogate mother is paid for her services in commercial surrogacy in addition to being reimbursed for her medical costs. In an uneven society, the way remuneration is structured may allow intended parents and surrogate mothers to be exploited. The only financial benefit received by the surrogate mother in an altruistic surrogacy is for the insurance and medical costs incurred throughout the pregnancy. While charitable surrogacy is permitted, commercial surrogacy is prohibited by the Act.


Keywords: Surrogacy, Altruistic surrogacy, commercial surrogacy
