Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Donating kidney for money is illegal in India. You may donate it to any close friend or relative when such a person is matching with your HLA typing. Donating a kidney voluntarily to any one who needs it urgently without knowing the person and the illness they have is not correct. Donation of kidney is through a major surgery and requires hospitalisation and pre donation checks which need to be approved by ethical board appointed to oversee the donation process. There are organ transplantation laws in India and if anyone is caught indulging in malpractice then they will be scrutinized under existing laws of the land.
