The cost of surrogacy and surrogate mothers in
India is always a rough estimate. Unlike buying
some service where a cost is fixed, in the case
of surrogacy, the actual cost might differ
slightly with the initial estimate or you could
have a major difference. The current estimate is
30,000 and it includes everything from
consultation to accommodation. However, if there
are any emergencies, the costs could escalate.
While it is true that emergencies are rare and
chances of it are reduced due to extensive
pre-screening, emergencies can and do occur and
therefore it is best to be prepared.

Initial payments No matter
which India Surrogacy clinic you go to, there
will always be an initial down-payment.
Typically, it is about a third of the total fees.
You would generally be asked to make half i.e.
roughly 5,000 at the time of requesting for the
surrogacy service and another equal amount at
time of obtaining a medical visa. The initial
deposit is utilized to pre-select and prepare the
surrogate mother, Egg Donors India, pay deposits
at clinics, arrange for your stay and so on.

Once the program starts, you will usually be
requested to pay the balance i.e. roughly
20,000. This amount is utilized mainly to pay
compensation to the surrogate mother (they have
to be paid upfront), to pay for her stay and food
and to pay for the maternity care. There are also
some social workers involved who provide pre and
post natal care. They need to be compensated as
well. A small part of the payment is utilized
towards doctors fees, insurance premium and
legal fees (for drawing up the surrogacy
agreement). The 30,000 estimate does not include
any kind of emergency costs or transport or legal
fees other than fees paid for drawing up the
surrogacy agreement. In almost all cases, clients
go away happy having spent only 30,000 for
hiring a Surrogate Mothers in India.
