Merger and Acquisition (also referred to as ‘M&A’) refers to the legislative framework that has developed within India in the past two decades which controls the country’s mergers, acquisitions, amalgamations, and other corporate restructuring operations. Through such regulation, the economic field within the country has observed huge advancements in technology, development of market strategies and overall economic growth. M&A transactions include the merger of two or more businesses to establish a new organisation or the purchase of one business by another.
The Companies Act, 2013, which establishes the fundamental legal framework for business transactions, is the primary legislation governing M&A transactions in India. Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the Competition Commission of India (CCI), Taxation Regulations, and Foreign Investment Regulations amongst other regulatory bodies and compliance procedures, also play an important role in regulating M&A transactions in India.
