The Center for Reproductive Rights states that India's laws permit abortion under broad social or economic grounds. Parental authorization/notification required. Abortion permitted in cases of fetal diagnosis and rape. In 2021, India amended its Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act (MTP). The amendments further liberalized access to abortion services and removed several restrictions. The amendments increased the upper gestational limit for access to abortion for minors, for women with specified disabilities, and in cases of rape and incest from 20 to 24 weeks, among others. The amendment also removed gestational limits in cases of "substantial fetal abnormalities."

"Abortion rights in India are improving. In 2022, India’s Supreme Court ruled that all women, whether married or unmarried, should have the right to a safe, legal abortion.

Currently, abortion rights in India allow women to have an abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy with the endorsement of a doctor.
