Materials and Methods: Record based study was carried out in 1961 donors attending blood bank. Results: Total 582 donors were deferred out of 1961 registered donors because of various reasons anemia was found most common cause of deferring the donors followed by hypertension, incidence of deferral of females was more as compared to males. Conclusion: It was found that deferral rate in present study was 29.67% and leading cause was anemia followed by hypertension for deferring donors. Therefore it is time to modify recruitment strategy with regular follow up of temporarily deferred donors.
