The Competition Commission of India (“CCI” or “Commission”) issued the draft of the Competition Commission of India (Conduct) Rules, 2025 (“Draft Rules”)[1]. CCI invites comments and feedback from stakeholders on the Draft Rules latest by April 06, 2025.
It is noted that the nature of work at the Commission involves handling commercially sensitive and confidential information received from various parties. Given the high level of confidentiality required in dealing with such matters, it is essential to maintain strict standards in managing this information.
To address the same, the Draft Rules are proposed, aligning with the practices of similar organizations, to ensure confidentiality and promote a high standard of ethics among employees. With the Commission’s approval, these Draft Rules aim to strengthen the regulatory framework governing vigilance administration within the CCI.
