Nidara

ART (Regulation) Act 2021 · Rules 2022

Compliance you can be inspected on.

Clinic software for Indian ART centres where the statutory controls are enforced by the database itself. Not a policy document. Not a checklist. A system that declines the action — and records that it declined it.

What it refuses

Software that says no.

These are messages the system actually returns. Each one is a rule in the Act that stops being a matter of memory — nobody has to know the section number, because the section number is in the refusal.

s.27(4)

One donation in a lifetime. This donor may not donate again.

A donor who has already donated cannot be allocated a second time — at this centre or any other in the same organisation.

s.27(3)

One donor supplies one commissioning couple.

Refused before anything is written, rather than flagged afterwards in a report nobody opens.

s.29

Section 29 requires a recorded National Board permission reference before gametes or embryos may be transferred out.

The whole of the exception is the reference. Without it, there is no transfer out.

s.21(g)

Couple outside the age limits in s.21(g) at the start of this cycle.

Checked against the recorded date of birth at the date the cycle begins, not at the date somebody happens to look.

s.31

This record is under a legal hold. Records are preserved until the proceedings are finally disposed of.

A preservation order outranks the retention clock. Disposal is refused until the hold is lifted, with a reason.

CoC-01

The scan does not match the specimen this form is about.

Scanning the straw in your hand and having it accepted against a different record is worse than not scanning — it produces a witnessed entry that says the wrong thing.

The record

A refusal that vanishes is not a control.

The hard part is not detecting the breach. It is still having the evidence afterwards — on the days somebody did the wrong thing.

Refusals commit

Most systems enforce by raising an error — the transaction rolls back and takes the record of the attempt with it, leaving a clinic that looks spotless because things went wrong. Nidara refuses by returning. The action does not happen; the attempt is kept.

Hash-chained and append-only

Every action is appended to a per-centre log in which each entry carries the digest of the one before it, so altering anything breaks every link after it. No updates, no deletes — enforced by the database, not by convention.

Sealed evidence packs

For an inspection, a snapshot with its own digest that can be re-verified afterwards — so the copy handed over on the day is provably the copy that was generated, months later.

Coverage

A centre runs on this.

Patients through to the monthly return. Each area carries the provisions it enforces.

Patients & couples

Registration, couples formed with the partner recorded inline, identity encrypted at rest and every disclosure logged against a stated purpose.

s.21(e) · s.21(g) · s.26

Cycles

Stimulation charted day by day, ovarian response banded, and a written rationale required before triggering in the high-risk band.

r.25.1.5 · s.24(b)

Laboratory & custody

Every step witnessed and attributed, with barcode or QR scanning checked against the specimen the form is about.

CoC-01 · CoC-02 · s.24(b)

Cryostorage

Straw-level coordinates, the ten-year clock computed from the date of storage, and extension only against a recorded National Board permission.

s.28(2) · r.25.1.2 · s.29

Donors

Screening before allocation, one couple per donor, one donation in a lifetime, and identity disclosure that is restricted and logged.

s.27(2)(3)(4)(6) · r.19

Consent register

Versioned templates with the agreed wording frozen into each signed consent and digested, so revising a template never rewrites what somebody agreed to.

s.21(a) · s.31

Registry filing

The monthly return with its figures computed from the record rather than typed, due on the fifth and escalating on the third.

r.23.3

Inspection

A sealed, re-verifiable evidence pack, the discharge certificate given to the patient, and a full audit trail across three streams.

INS-03 · s.21(h) · s.23

Multi-centre

Each centre registers in its own right, so roles are granted per centre and the executive head is named against the liability the Act assigns.

Straight answers

Where we actually are.

We would rather tell you this now than have you discover it on the third call.

  • The platform is built and running. Every area above exists and is exercised by an automated suite that tests the refusals, not only the paths where things go right.
  • Your data stays in India, in the Mumbai region, fixed at creation. Identity fields are encrypted at rest and every disclosure is recorded against the purpose given.
  • We are taking our first clinics now. You would be early, and we will tell you exactly what that means rather than describing you as a launch partner.
  • We do not do billing, lead management or WhatsApp campaigns. Nidara is the statutory and clinical record. If you want a marketing suite, buy one and run it alongside — we will not pretend otherwise to win the deal.

See it refuse something.

A walkthrough takes thirty minutes and we run the refusals live against your own scenarios — including the ones you think should be allowed. No slides.

Email and phone go straight to the people who build it. We reply within a working day.
