Blood donation — frequently asked questions
Who can donate blood in India?
Generally, healthy people aged 18–65 weighing at least 45 kg, with normal haemoglobin. The blood bank does a quick check before donation.
How often can I donate blood?
Men can usually donate every 3 months and women every 4 months, so the body can replenish iron stores.
Is blood donation safe?
Yes. A fresh, sterile, single-use needle is used for every donor, so there is no risk of infection.
Does donating blood cost anything?
No — voluntary blood donation is free. Blood banks may charge a processing fee when blood is issued to a patient.

Before you donate blood
Eat and hydrate
Have a normal meal and drink plenty of water before donating — don’t come on an empty stomach.
Sleep well
Get a good night’s rest the day before; avoid donating if you feel unwell.
Carry an ID
Bring a government photo ID. First-time donors should keep about an hour free.
Rest afterwards
Sit for a few minutes, have the refreshments offered, and avoid heavy lifting for the rest of the day.
