Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has clarified the government’s policy regarding tinted vehicle windows, stating that 40 to 50 percent tint is allowed on rear windows, while front side windows must remain clear for security and identification purposes. An official told APP that the clarification was issued to help citizens understand which types of window tinting were legal and which remained prohibited due to security concerns. According to the Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Islamabad, tinting of 40 to 50 percent is permissible on rear windows, while tinting on front side windows is not allowed because the driver must remain clearly visible during security checks. He said that the ability to clearly identify the driver was important for both traffic management and security purposes, which was why tinting on front windows was considered a violation of existing regulations.
