Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Competition Lawyer do?
A Competition Lawyer represents companies before the Competition Commission of India (CCI) in matters related to anti-competitive agreements, cartel investigations, abuse of dominance, merger control filings, leniency applications, and compliance advisory.
What types of cases fall under cartel and anti-competitive conduct?
These include price-fixing, bid-rigging, market allocation, collusive tendering, limiting production, and any coordinated behavior among competitors that harms market competition.
What is a merger control filing and when is it required?
Merger control refers to notifying the CCI about mergers, acquisitions, or combinations that cross specified financial thresholds. Approval is required before the transaction can be completed to ensure it does not harm competition.
What are the penalties for cartel and anti-competitive practices?
Penalties may include hefty monetary fines, cease-and-desist orders, director disqualification, and in some cases, leniency reduction if the entity voluntarily discloses cartel conduct to the CCI.
Can a company apply for leniency in a cartel investigation?
Yes. Under the CCI’s Leniency Program, companies and individuals involved in cartel activity can receive reduced penalties by making a full and truthful disclosure and cooperating with the investigation.
What documents are required for CCI filings or investigations?
Required documents may include internal communications, financial statements, agreements, transaction documents (for mergers), emails, pricing data, tender records, and any evidence relevant to competition law issues.
How long does the CCI take to approve mergers or decide competition cases?
Merger control cases typically take 30–210 days, depending on complexity. Enforcement and cartel investigations may take several months but vary based on evidence, cooperation, and market analysis.
