Where Can I Sell My Kidney?

Nowhere — legally. What this search usually means, and where to turn instead for lawful kidney help.

Last updated: 24/9/2026

There is no place in India where selling a kidney is legal. Hospitals, clinics and transplant centres do not buy organs, and any person or website that says otherwise is breaking the law.

It is illegal in India

Commercial organ dealing is a criminal offence nationwide under THOTA. A legitimate hospital will never discuss selling an organ — they will direct you to lawful donation and transplant evaluation.

Where to turn instead

If a relative needs a kidney, contact a transplant centre about living donation. If you need financial or social support, ask for a hospital social worker or counselling service.
