Fertility Glossary

ART (Regulation) Rules

The detailed rules made under the ART Act, updated by later amendments including in 2026.

India ART regulation

The Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Rules set out the operational detail under the ART (Regulation) Act, 2021, including clinic and bank registration requirements, staffing, record keeping, consent forms and reporting to the National ART & Surrogacy Registry. The Rules have been amended more than once since 2022, including a further amendment notified in 2026. Because the Rules are updated by gazette notification from time to time, this glossary does not state which specific conditions are in force at any given moment. Patients and clinics should check the National ART & Surrogacy Portal for the current text of the Rules and any recent amendment before relying on a specific requirement. 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.
