  1. In India, the rules regarding tinted glass for vehicles are primarily governed by the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989. The Supreme Court of India has also issued guidelines to regulate the use of tinted glass in vehicles. Here are the top 10 rules related to tinted glass in India: 1.Visibility Requirement: The glass of the windshield and rear window of a vehicle must have a Visual Light Transmission (VLT) of not less than 70%. The side windows must have a VLT of not less than 50%. This means that the tint on these windows should allow at least 70% and 50% of light to pass through, respectively. 2.Ban on Film Tinting: The Supreme Court of India has banned the use of any kind of film or additional material to darken the windows of vehicles. The VLT requirements must be met by the glass itself as manufactured. 3.Manufacturer's Compliance: Only the original tint provided by the manufacturer is allowed, provided it complies with the VLT regulations. No aftermarket alterations to the tint are permitted. 4.Exemptions for Security: Vehicles used by VIPs and those requiring special security (such as police and paramilitary forces) may be exempt from these rules, subject to specific government permissions. 5.Penalty for Violation: Violating the rules regarding tinted glass can result in fines. The fine amount varies across different states in India but can typically range from ₹100 to ₹1,000 for the first offense. Repeat offenses may attract higher penalties. 6.Traffic Police Enforcement: Traffic police are authorized to inspect vehicles for compliance with the VLT rules. They can stop vehicles and use VLT meters to measure the transparency of the windows. 7.Removal of Illegal Tint: If a vehicle is found to have illegal tinted film, the police can issue a challan and may require the immediate removal of the tint film on the spot. 8.Applicability to All Vehicles: These rules apply to all types of vehicles, including cars, buses, and trucks, regardless of whether they are privately owned or used for commercial purposes. 9.Safety Concerns: The primary reason for regulating tinted glass is to ensure visibility for law enforcement and safety for the occupants by allowing clear visibility of the vehicle's interior from the outside. 10.Legal Challenges: Vehicle owners who believe they require tinted glass for health reasons (e.g., sensitivity to sunlight) may need to provide medical proof and seek specific exemptions, though such exemptions are rare. These rules aim to enhance safety, security, and compliance with legal standards, balancing privacy concerns with the need for transparency and law enforcement effectiveness. Vehicle owners should ensure that their vehicles comply with these regulations to avoid penalties and ensure road safety.
