    COMPETITION COMMISSION OF INDIA (CCI)

    Competition is the best means of ensuring that the “Common Man” has access to the
    broadest range of good and services at the most competitive prices.
    With increased competition, producers will have maximum incentive to innovate and specialize.
    This would result in reduced costs and wider choice to consumers. A fair competition in market
    is essential to achieve this objective. Our goal is to create and sustain fair competition in the
    economy that will provide a ‘level playing field’ to the producers and make the markets work for
    the welfare of the consumers.
    The Competition Act, 2002 as amended by the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2007, follows the
    philosophy of modern competition laws.
    The monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969 (MRTP Act) was repealed and
    replaced by the Competition Act, 2002 on the recommendations of the Raghavan committee.
    The Act prohibits anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position by enterprises and
    regulates combinations (acquisition, acquiring of control and M&A), which causes or likely to
    cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition within India.
    CCI consists of a chairperson and 6 members appointed by the union Government.
    It is the duty of the commission to eliminate practices having adverse effect on competition,
    promote and sustain competition, protect the interests of consumers and ensure freedom of trade
    in the markets of india.
    The commission is also required to give opinion on competition issues on a reference received
    from a statutory authority established under any law and to undertake competition advocacy,
    create public awareness and impart training on competition issues.
    In accordance with the provisions of the Amendment Act, the Competition Commission of India
    and the Competition Appellate Tribunal have been established.
    The government replaced the Competition Appellate Tribunal (COMPAT) with the National
    Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in 2017.
