Every motor vehicle is supposed to have glass on the windscreen and windows. Sometimes, owners of motor vehicles add black films or dark-tinted films. Under the law, the glass is specified with a Visual Light transmission (VLT), which is the amount of visible light that passes through a lens or glass. For instance, a glass with a VLT of 12% allows 12% of light to pass through it, while blocking the remaining 88%.
In your vehicle, the glass of the windscreen and rear windows should be in a condition that the VLT is not less than 70%1. The glass of the side windows should be in a condition that the VLT is not less than 50%2. Black films on the glass of any window in your vehicle are completely prohibited.
Given below are the fine amounts for two states:
State | Fine Amount (In INR) |
Delhi | 500 – 1,000 |
