COMPETITION

The Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Bill were introduced in the Parliament in the year 1967 to ensure healthy Competition in the market and the same was referred to the Joint Select Committee. The MRTP Act, 1969 came into force, with effect from, 1 June, 1970.
The enactment of MRTP Act, 1969 was based on the socio – economic philosophy enshrined in the Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of India. The MRTP Act has gone through many amendments since the time it was introduced after which it was repealed and replaced by the Competition Act, 2002.

The Competition Act, 2002 came into existence in January 2003 and the Competition Commission of India was established in October, 2003. It was amended in the year 2007, with the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2007.

The Competition Act strives to ensure fair and healthy competition in the market. Ensure a level playing field; achiever allocative efficiency, productive efficiency and dynamic efficiency. In fact, attaining all three of these efficiencies at the same time is goal of the Competition Law. Competition law believes in the premise that the unrestrained interaction of the competitive forces in the market will yield the best allocation of economic resources, lower prices, improve quality and maximum material progress for the citizens (in effect, it aims at creating the ideal free market shorn of cartels and monopolies).
