Donation basics
How to Check Blood Availability Online in India
Stock lookups before you start calling.
e-RaktKosh stock search
The national portal shows unit availability by bank, group and component for participating banks — check it before mobilising donors; the blood may already exist.
Its limits
Not every bank updates in real time and platelet counts move hourly, so treat listings as leads to confirm by phone, not guarantees.
When stock is zero
That's the moment for a donor-network request: fresh volunteer collection is the fallback that never expires — provided donors are findable.
Frequently asked questions
Is availability data free to view?
Yes — e-RaktKosh is a public service.
Why did the bank refuse despite listed stock?
Cross-match failures, reservations for surgeries and update lag all cause honest mismatches — always confirm by phone.
