Traffic Rules: In India, the rules related to changing the paint or color of cars are quite strict. If you change the color of your car, it is legally required to register it with the RTO (regional transport office). Under the Indian Motor Vehicles Act, it is mandatory to update the vehicle's registration certificate (RC) for any change in color of the car. If you change the color without informing and do not update it, you may have to pay a fine.
What does the rule say?
If you change the color of your car and get it painted in some other color then it is mandatory for you to register it in RTO immediately. For this you will have to make changes in the RC (Registration Certificate) of the car.
Amendment in Registration: When you inform the RTO, he will enter the new color of your car in your RC, after which you will get the new RC. This process legally recognizes the new color of the car.
Fine: If you change the color without informing the RTO and are caught during police checking, you can be fined heavily. In some cases, your vehicle may also be confiscated.
So, if you are thinking of changing the color of your car, it is important to get it registered with the RTO so that you can avoid any legal action or fine.
