Abstract

A law to prevent sex determination tests was passed in Maharashtra known as Maharashtra Regulation of Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1988. In 1994 the the Parliament enacted the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act . To take care of certain inadequacies and practical difficulties in the administration of the Act amendments have been made in the content and the title of the act as well as the rules in 2003. This compilation puts together a comprehensive set of guidelines elaborating various provisions of the Act and the Rules and their implementation mechanism which clarifies various issues on which the medical practitioners implementing agencies and people at large have varying interpretations to bring in convergence of opinion among all the stake holders.
