National ART register · in plain words
Before you pay for IVF, check what the clinic is registered to do.
India licenses every fertility clinic at one of two levels. Level 1 means IUI only.
IVF needs Level 2. The register records which one each clinic holds — in a table with no
explanation and no search.
4,765
clinics on the national register
1,239
registered for IUI only — not IVF
2,065
registered for IVF and ICSI
27
states and union territories listed
The register states no level for the remaining 1,461 clinics. We say so on their pages
rather than guess. Nine states and union territories — including Uttar Pradesh and Bihar —
publish no clinics into this register at all.
Two things the register knows and doesn't tell you
A Level 1 clinic is not licensed for IVF.
Rule 3 of the ART Rules, 2022 says a Level 1 clinic carries out
only intrauterine insemination. Egg retrieval, fertilisation outside the body and
embryo transfer all require Level 2. If you are being offered IVF somewhere registered at
Level 1, that is the first question to ask.
What the two levels mean → Every registration runs out after five years.
A certificate is granted for five years, and renewal has to be applied for sixty days
before it lapses. The register prints the date on a scanned certificate, not in the table.
We read those certificates, and show the date beside each clinic.
What the law requires of a clinic →
Source: Rule 3, ART (Regulation) Rules, 2022, read with Schedule 1 (staff) and Schedule 2
(equipment). A level is a licence, not a rating.
How to read a clinic page
Find the level
The page opens with what this clinic is registered for, said in one line. Not what it
advertises — what its licence covers.
Read the certificate
Registration number, the authority that issued it, the date it runs to, and a link to the
scanned certificate the clinic filed.
Take the questions
Five or six questions drawn from that clinic's own record, to ask at the desk before you
sign anything.
What this site is not
Not a rating. Not a directory. Not for sale.
Every clinic gets a page, including the ones with nothing to brag about.
No clinic can pay to appear, to rank higher, or to have a page removed. There is no
enquiry form, because we do not sell your phone number.
We do not rate quality. The register does not say whether a clinic is
good. Success rates, doctors, equipment and prices are not in it, so they are not on
these pages.
We only restate what the government published. Names, addresses,
registration numbers and levels come from the National ART & Surrogacy Registry. We
do not add, infer or correct them.
If we have something wrong, tell us and we will fix it — and if the
register itself is wrong, we will show your correction beside the official line rather
than over it.
