Prajual Agarwal & Sonam Drolia, Birla Global University, Bhubaneshwar ABSTRACT In this article, we analyze how Indian family law views inheritance and succession rights of children born through surrogacy. Although the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 provides that intended parents are the lawful guardians by establishing that legal parentage exists from birth of the surrogacy born child, it does not explicitly harmonize succession rights due to the pluralism of personal law systems in India.
