1) The maximum age of the couple or single parent will depend on the age of the child, but no couple whose cumulative age is more than 110 years can adopt, nor can a single parent aged 55 years or more.

2) The minimum age difference between the child and either of the adoptive parents should not be less than 25 years.

3) In the case of adoption of older children, the age of the parents may be relaxed accordingly. For example, for a one-year-old child, the age limit is 46 years, for a two-year-old child, it is 47 years and so on. The upper age limit for an adopted child is 12 years while for an adoptive parent it is 55 years.

4) In the case of an adopted child with special needs, the age limit may be relaxed marginally by the state government, depending on the evaluation of the case. However, in all cases, the age of the parent cannot exceed 55 years.
