2 1. History of Competition Law 2. Objectives of Competition Law 3. Competition Law & Regulations 4. Legislation In India.Competition Act,
3 MRTP Act In India, earlier to have restriction on such Anti competitive practices, the only piece of Legislation was the Monopolistic & Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969 ( MRTP Act). Under this Act, a MRTP Commission was established and was vested with powers to direct investigation, on a complaint in respect of any unfair trade Practice, monopolistic trade practice or restrictive Trade Practice. Investigation into the matter was the domain of Director General (Investigation) and he had to submit a report to the Commission for further directions. Restraint orders, compensation etc were the eventual powers of the MRTP Commission 3
4 MRTP Act Certain Provisions restricted the jurisdiction of the MRTP Commission viz Banking activities. The MRTP Act was not only found to be inadequate but also obsolete in the light of international economic developments relating to Competition. Government of India s initiative to liberalize its economy resulted in enactment of Competition Act, The objective being to have: (i) Free Market and Trade (ii) creating competitive environment for all (iii) remove monopoly, which controls the price etc. (iv) effective allocation of resources (v) productive efficiency (vi) prohibit trade practices which caused adverse effect on competition 4
5 In 2002, a High Level Committee on Competition Policy and Law gave its recommendations and thereafter, Competition Act, 2002 was enacted. Subsequently, Competition Commission of India (General) Regulations 2009 were also framed. 5
6 1. Avoid abuse of dominant position 2. Regulate mergers and takeovers 3. Providing checks and balances in free economy 4. Avoid anti competitive practices 5. Removing controls 6. Allocative efficiency effective allocation of resources 7. Productive efficiency cost of production to be kept minimum 8. Dynamic efficiency promoting innovative practices All these practices, intended to be removed, ultimately result in distortion of market, control pricing, result in monopolistic environment, which is unhealthy for the economy 6
7 Important Provisions of the Act Anti competitive Agreements The Act provides that no enterprise or association of enterprises or persons or association of persons shall enter into any agreement in respect of production, supply, distribution, storage, acquisition or control of goods or provision of services, which causes or is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition within India. Such agreements shall be void. Further, it provides that any such agreement which directly or indirectly determines the purchase or sale prices; limits or control production, supply, development, investment; directly or indirectly result is collusive bidding, formation of cartels shall be presumed to have adverse effect on competition.
