Age and eligibility conditions for accessing ART

Who may access ART treatment in India, and any age limits, are set by the Act and Rules and can change.

India ART regulation

The ART (Regulation) Act, 2021 and its Rules set conditions on who may access ART treatment in India, which can include age limits and other eligibility criteria for intending couples and an intending woman. These conditions have been the subject of amendment and of court cases since the Act came into force. Because the specific figures and conditions can change by notification or court ruling, this glossary does not state a fixed age limit or eligibility condition as current fact. Patients should check the National ART & Surrogacy Portal, or ask their registered ART clinic, for the eligibility conditions that currently apply to their situation. This is general information about India's ART and surrogacy framework and is not personalised legal advice. India legal information last reviewed: 9 September 2026.
