## ⚠️ Important Legal Note for Indian Emeya Owners
Before proceeding with any window film installation, it is crucial to understand Indian legal requirements. As per the **Supreme Court ruling of 2012** and the **Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989** :
| Window | Minimum VLT (Visible Light Transmission) |
|--------|------------------------------------------|
| **Front Windshield** | 70% (tint only allowed on top 15cm) |
| **Rear Windshield** | 70% |
| **Front Side Windows** | 50% |
| **Rear Side Windows** | 50% |
**Key Legal Points**:
- The Supreme Court's 2012 ruling effectively **bans all aftermarket sun films** regardless of VLT compliance
- Only **factory-fitted tinted glass** is permitted
- Penalties include fines (₹500-₹5, 000), on-the-spot film removal, and possible vehicle detention
- A 2021 Kerala High Court ruling clarified that tinted films **are legal if they comply with VLT norms**, but enforcement varies by state
**Our Recommendation for Emeya Owners**:
For absolute legal certainty, we recommend:
1. **Factory-fitted solar-attenuating glass** (available as an option)
2. **Removable mesh sunshades** – legal while parked, removable while driving
3. If you choose aftermarket film where permitted in your state, we provide VLT certification documentation
