I am willing to do sperm donation, before doing so want to know any legal hurdles existing in India for the same. And any documentation needs to to be signed with the sperm bank in order to avoid legal heir cases from the recipient of sperm etc.?

The truth is, sperm donation is still a taboo in India unlike other countries such as the US or Russia, for example. But this does not mean it is illegal, since you can find a wide range of sperm banks in India. To sum up, it is a sort of social stigma still.
Apart from that, many men who have donated their sperm in India have admitted doing so to fulfill their material needs; therefore, there is still a lot to be done to spread the altruistic side of this act. In fact, sperm donation is defined by many as a “market phenomenon” in this country, where both social relations and benefits can arise because of doing so.
