This step was taken after repeated requests and warnings regarding removal of tinted films on vehicles for security reasons were ignored by citizens over time. Tinted windows reduce transparency of window and windshield glass, making it difficult to spot people inside a car or other vehicles, thus making it a security hazard. The permissible transparency levels are 70% for front and back windshields and 50% for side windows. Car manufacturers are prohibited from tinting glasses beyond these limits as well.
Those flouting these rules are fine under section 190 of the Motor Vehicle Act (1988) and rules 92 and 100 of the Central motor vehicle rules (1989).
