Kidney donation in India is illegal if done for money. It can be done only as a life saving procedure for any known relative or friend after getting clearance from transplantation ethical committee.
Legally, organ donation can take place from living, genetically-related individuals; from living, unrelated individuals in special circumstances where no unauthorized payment is made to the donor.
Organ transplant law does not allow exchange of money between the donor and the recipient. According to the Act, the unrelated donor has to file an affidavit in the court of a magistrate stating that the organ is being donated out of affection. After which the donor has to undergo number of tests before the actual transplant takes place. The Authorization Committee set up for the purpose ensures that all the documents required under the act have been supplied. If it is found that the money has been exchanged in the process then both the recipient as well as the donor are considered as prime offenders under the law.
