<h1>New Amendments to Section 5 Define Combinations and Control in Mergers and Acquisitions; Effective September 2024</h1> The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 revises Section 5 of the principal Act, focusing on combinations like acquisitions, mergers, and amalgamations. It introduces new clauses, stating that transactions exceeding INR 2000 crore involving enterprises with substantial business operations in India are considered combinations. It exempts combinations not surpassing prescribed asset or turnover values. The definition of 'control' includes the ability to influence management or strategic decisions, while 'group' is defined by voting rights or board appointments. 'Turnover' and 'value of transaction' are clarified, including criteria for determining asset values and considerations for partial acquisitions. These amendments take effect on September 10, 2024.
