The competition watchdog CCI has proposed setting up of state-level commissions to safeguard interests of small businesses and spread its reach to different parts of the country. The proposal forms part of the recommendations submitted to the Corporate Affairs Ministry on the National Competition Policy (NCP) by the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
The government also ordered it to hear cases that the MRTPC had failed to resolve when it was wound up last year.

While in India the maximum penalty ends with a fine, it might not be surprising that an imprisionment provision will be incorporated to add more teeth to the present CCA”, he said.
Even after three months of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) coming into force, its predecessor, the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTPC) is continuing to accept fresh cases on a daily basis.
