Centre junks domicile rule, fee for registration of organ recipients

Some states charge anywhere between Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 to register a patient for receiving organs donated by a deceased or cadaver donor. “Organ transplant is a life-saving procedure. One shouldn’t be deprived of it merely because he or she does not have a domicile for a particular state nor should they be required to pay any fee for registration. That’s why we have taken these decisions. The same has been conveyed to all states/UTs,” said an official.
