Abstract	Organ transplantation is a pinnacle in medical progress in India, which provides life-saving solutions for end-stage organ failure. However, this breakthrough has been undermined by the deeply rooted social disparities shaping access and outcomes. This paper examines how socio-economic factors like caste, class, gender, geography, and the financial situation of a person continue to affect the transplant ecosystem. The institutional inefficiencies, biased allocation, and ethical concerns around organ trade and commercialisation have been highlighted in this paper through various government data and real-life case studies, and peer-reviewed journals. It emphasises that only policy reform is not the solution; systemic inequities need to be addressed too. The paper concludes that equity in transplantation is not just a medical necessity but a moral imperative for just healthcare in India.
