What is the maximum age to donate blood?

    Short Answer

    Most healthy people can donate blood up to 65 years of age, subject to medical approval.


    Government of India Guidelines

    Government guidelines state:

    • First-time donor: up to 60 years

    • Repeat donor: up to 65 years

    The Medical Officer must confirm fitness before donation.


    Detailed Explanation

    Many healthy senior donors continue donating safely.

    Your overall health matters more than your age alone.
