Disclaimer
What this site is, what it is not, and the things you must not assume from it. Please read this before you act on anything here.
This is not an official website, not a rating, and not medical advice. Registration is a licence to practise. It says nothing about whether a clinic is good, safe, affordable or right for you.
1. Not an official publication
IVF Check is an independent public-interest project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Department of Health Research, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the National ART & Surrogacy Board, any State ART & Surrogacy Appropriate Authority, or any clinic.
The official register is at registry.artsurrogacy.gov.in. Where this site and the official record differ, the official record is correct and this site is wrong.
2. Not a rating
A clinic's level is a licence category, not a score. Level 2 does not mean good; Level 1 does not mean bad. A Level 2 clinic may be excellent or terrible. A Level 1 clinic may be exactly the right place for insemination.
We publish no ratings, no stars, no rankings and no "best clinics" list, because the register contains nothing from which a quality judgement could honestly be made. If you see a version of this site that ranks clinics, it is not ours.
3. Not medical advice
Nothing here is medical advice, a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation or a second opinion. No doctor-patient relationship is created by using this site. Decisions about fertility treatment belong with a qualified clinician who has examined you, and with you.
We do not know your history, your test results, your age or your chances. We are not able to tell you which clinic to choose or which treatment to have.
4. Not legal advice
Our explanations of the ART Act 2021 and the ART Rules 2022 are a plain-language reading of published text, with rule numbers so you can check them. They are not legal advice, may not reflect later amendments, notifications or court decisions, and should not be relied on in a dispute without professional help.
5. Accuracy and currency
We read the national register on 11 November 2026 and restate what it said that day. The register is updated by state authorities without a published schedule, so the position on any given day may already differ.
Three specific limits you should know:
- Validity dates are read by text recognition from scanned certificates. Where a date could not be read, the page says the date is not published. A misread date is possible.
- Levels come from the registration number, not from the scan. Where the number does not carry a level, we say "not stated" rather than infer one.
- We do not verify anything. We do not visit clinics, call them, check their staff, inspect their laboratories or confirm that a clinic is still trading.
6. Absence from this site
A clinic not appearing here is not evidence that it is unregistered. Nine states and union territories currently publish nothing into the national register, and the register's coverage is uneven. An unlisted clinic may be perfectly properly registered with its state authority.
7. What we do not publish, and why
Prices, success rates, doctors' names and qualifications, equipment, waiting times, complaints and patient opinions are not in the register. We do not publish them because we cannot source them, and a site that invents them is worse than no site at all.
8. No endorsement, no disparagement
Nothing on this site endorses any clinic, and nothing on it alleges wrongdoing by any clinic. Every statement about a named clinic is a restatement of a record the Government of India publishes, or a quotation of a provision of law. If you believe a statement about your clinic is wrong, see corrections and takedown.
9. Use at your own risk
You use this site at your own risk. Before committing to treatment, confirm the registration, the level and the certificate with the clinic directly, and if necessary with your State Appropriate Authority.
