The Competition Act, 2002 was established by the Parliament of India and supplanted The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969. It is basically to administer Indian rivalry law.

After the establishment of the Competition Act, 2002, (“Act”) it has been changed twice, the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2007, and the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2009. Two of the fundamental highlights of the Competition Act, 2002 is the structure it accommodates the foundation of the Competition Commission, and the instruments it gives to forestall against serious practices and to advance positive contest in the Indian market.

 to give the structure to the foundation of the Competition Commission. to forestall syndications and to advance contests on the lookout. to secure the opportunity of exchange for the partaking people and elements the market. to secure the interest of the shopper.

Now there was a concept of anti-competitive agreements. In basic words, Anti-Competitive arrangements are arrangements that are made by at least two organizations contending in similar markets to fix costs or lessen stocks, and so forth, in order to control the market well for them. This has the impact of the organizations decreasing the opposition in the market which unfavorably influences the end shopper.

Now the administrative body which looks after all issues related to the act is the Competition Commission of India. t is a legal body that has the ability to oversee and uphold the Competition Act including punishments. It was set up when the requirement for a sound cutthroat climate became essential after advancement under the Vajpayee government.

The Commission is made out of an executive and at least 2 board individuals and a limit of 6 board individuals. These individuals are needed to have at least 15 years of involvement with their particular fields.

Its targets, obligations, and powers are identified in the Competition Act, 2002. Its fundamental obligation and item are to guarantee that the Indian business sectors keep a sound and reasonable cutthroat climate and is conceded the ability to guarantee such a climate and punish any demonstrations antagonistically influencing its obligations.
