How much money do you get donating a kidney?

A relative is in urgent need of a kidney transplant. I was thinking of donating, but also heard about financial compensation in some places. How much money do you get for donating a kidney, if anything?

In India, selling a kidney for money is completely illegal and carries heavy prison time. Organ donation must only be done legally out of love for a close relative, and donors need to maintain a very clean, low-protein diet afterward.

I was looking this up too, and selling organs is strictly banned under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act in India. Anyone offering money online for kidneys is 100% running an illegal racket or scam.

You do not get any money. Under Indian law, commercial trading of organs is a major crime; only altruistic donation to immediate family is allowed after strict government approvals. Please stay away from online scams promising money.

Bro, you get zero money because selling a kidney is illegal here. Don't believe those fake ads or memes on social media, it is a serious criminal offense.

You get absolutely nothing because selling organs is against the law! Better to save money by cutting down on expensive restaurant food instead of thinking about such wild ideas.

Hey, if you are facing financial stress, please don't think about such extreme steps! Organ selling is illegal and highly dangerous for your health. There are always other ways to sort out financial problems.

I used to see those 'sell kidney' jokes and got curious if it was actually a thing. I researched it and realized it is completely illegal and dangerous. Don't worry, those internet rumors are completely false.

Please listen to me, there is absolutely no legal way to get paid for organ donation in India. Don't let anyone guide you down this dangerous path; look after your health and stay safe.
