A.Dear Client,

As per the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988, and the Central Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989, there is no prohibition against the installation of luggage carriers atop private four-wheelers to carry the luggage of the passengers of that vehicle. Additionally, there is no requirement to obtain prior permission for installing such carriers. The installation of carriers is considered legal, and individuals driving private, registered cars with rooftop carriers should not be subjected to fines or tickets for this reason.

It's important to note that traffic rules and regulations can vary by region, so it is advisable to be aware of any local regulations that may apply to rooftop carriers. However, as a general rule, the act of installing a luggage carrier on a private car is not inherently against the law according to the Motor Vehicle Act and related rules.

If you are definite and sure then get such circular and approach High Court and get a mandamus direction to the Ministry of Transport of your State or Principal Secretary of the Transport Department etc., to check such lapses on the part of car owners and drivers.

There is no requirement to take prior permission for installing the carrier either. Installation of carriers is completely legal irrespective of the type of car you are driving down the road. Hence, no official or police will be able to give a ticket or fine you for a carrier on the rooftop of your private, registered car.
