Is carrier allowed on private vehicles ?
25-Jul-2024 (In Civil Law)
Yes, using a roof (luggage) carrier on a private car in India is legal. The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989, do not prohibit it
Also, there is no requirement for obtaining permission from the Regional Transport Office (RTO) before installing a luggage carrier on a private car in India.
However, the carrier must comply with the guidelines specified under the CMVR, such as not obstructing the driver's view or interfering with the functioning of the lights, indicators, or brakes, and not causing any damage to the car's body or structure. It is essential to ensure that the luggage carrier is securely fitted and does not exceed the maximum permissible weight limit specified by the car manufacturer. The luggage should be loaded within the permissible weight limit to maintain the car's stability and handling.
It is advisable to have the luggage carrier fitted by a qualified mechanic or authorized dealer to ensure that it is correctly installed and does not pose any safety risks.
