## ⚖️ Legal Sun Protection: Critical Information for S-Presso Owners
### ❌ The Law on Window Tints
As per the **Supreme Court ruling in Avishek Goenka v. Union of India (2012)** and the **Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989**, aftermarket sun films are strictly prohibited in India. The following VLT (Visible Light Transmission) standards must be met:
| Window Type | Minimum VLT Requirement |
|-------------|------------------------|
| **Front & Rear Windshields** | 70% |
| **Side Windows** | 50% |
**Key Legal Points**:
- The Supreme Court has explicitly banned aftermarket tinted films or sun control films on car windows, **regardless of VLT claims**
- Only **factory-fitted tinted glass** is permitted
- The ban was enacted due to safety concerns and criminal incidents involving heavily tinted vehicles
### 💰 Penalties for Non-Compliance
| Offence | Fine | Additional Penalties |
|---------|------|---------------------|
| **First Offence** | ₹100 | On-the-spot film removal |
| **Second Offence** | ₹300 | On-the-spot film removal |
| **Third Offence** | ₹300 | License suspension possible |
> **Note**: In 2019 alone, authorities collected ₹2.64 crore in fines from 1.32 lakh vehicles for violating tint laws.
### ✅ What IS Legal for S-Presso Owners
| Solution | Legality | Best For |
|----------|----------|----------|
| **Factory-fitted tinted glass** | Always legal | Permanent UV/heat protection |
| **Removable mesh sunshades** | ⚠️ **Parked only** | Protecting interior when stationary |
| **Windshield sunstrip** | Legal (max 15cm height) | Glare reduction |
| **Window Visors (Rain Guards)** | Always legal | Ventilation without direct sun |
### ❌ What is NOT Legal
- Any aftermarket tinted film (regardless of VLT claims)
- Using sunshades or curtains **while driving**
- Films that reduce VLT below 70% (windshield) or 50% (side windows)
> **Remember**: The crucial distinction is that **any material applied to the glass is prohibited**. Removable sunshades are legal **only when the vehicle is parked** and must be removed before driving.
