FAQs
What is considered anti-competitive under Indian law?
Any agreement or conduct that causes or is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India, such as price fixing, bid rigging, market allocation, or abuse of dominant position.
When is CCI approval required for mergers?
CCI approval is mandatory when the assets or turnover of the merging parties exceed the thresholds specified in the Competition Act. This ensures that the deal does not reduce market competition.
What are the penalties for violation of competition law?
The CCI may impose heavy monetary penalties and issue cease-and-desist orders. In cartel cases, penalties can be up to 10% of average turnover or 3 times the profit of each year of violation.
