Aftermarket Car Tint Laws in India: Legality and Alternatives

Aftermarket Car Tint Laws in India: Legality and Alternatives

In India, you can't put dark tinted film on your car's windows after you buy it.

The government banned this dark film because it was hard for police to see inside cars, which could help criminals.

It also made it harder for drivers to see, which could cause accidents.

The only tinted windows allowed are the ones that come with the car from the factory.

These factory tints let in a lot of light, at least 70% for the front and back windows and 50% for the side windows.

If you want tinted windows, make sure they are the kind that came with the car and aren't too dark.
