Union Minister of Corporate Affairs Shri Murli Deora has convened a special meeting on 25th April, 2011 at Mumbai to listen the views of Corporate India on issues relating to competition. The meeting has been called after a discussion with Secretary, Shri D.K. Mittal Ministry of Corporate Affairs Shri D.K. Mittal and Chairman, Competition Commission of India, Shri Dhanendra Kumar on concerns raised by Corporate India on regulations of merger and acquisition by the Competition Commission of India w.ef. 1st June, 2011.
The Supreme Court has declined to admit a plea by the Central Circuit Cine Association, an apex body of film traders, challenging investigations against it by the fair trade regulator Competition Commission of India(CCI). The association moved the court after it failed to get relief from the Competition Appellate Tribunal (CAT) on the point that they don’t fall under the purview of the CCI Act.
On 4 March, 2011, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs issued four draft notifications relating to Combinations whereby: 1. 1 June, 2011 has been appointed as the date on which the provisions relating to Combinations would come into force; 2. The threshold limit prescribed in section 5 for an acquisition or merger to constitute a Combination requiring mandatory notification to the Competition Commission of India (CCI) has been raised by 50%, on the basis of the wholesale price index. The Act currently prescribes the following thresholds:
On 1 March, 2011, the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”) published new draft regulations, The Competition Commission of India (Procedure in regard to the transaction of business relating to combination) Regulations, 2011. Some key features of the draft regulations are: Consultation prior to filing notice of proposed combination: Parties to a proposed combination may make written request seeking informal and verbal consultation with the CCI about filing notices. However, CCI would not be bound by any opinion or view expressed during consultation.
On and from 1 June 2011, any acquisition or merger or amalgamation that exceeds the monetary threshold specified in Section 5 of the Act will require approval of CCI. These provisions are aimed at ensuring that the proposed Combination is not anti-competitive. This may lengthen the time required to complete the Combination. If CCI is convinced that the Combination is not anti-competitive, it should not be difficult to obtain the approval. The CCI has also released draft rules for public comments on provisions relating to Regulations of Combinations. Once this is finalized and notified, it will facilitate implementation of the provisions relating to Combination.
