Which regulator approved the acquisition of certain shareholding of Yatharth Hospital & Trauma Care Services Limited?
- A.Securities and Exchange Board of India
- B.Reserve Bank of India
- C.Competition Commission of India
- D.Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Competition Commission of India, which cleared the acquisition of certain shareholding of Yatharth Hospital & Trauma Care Services Limited by Rasmalai Limited. The Commission is the authority that examines proposed combinations, that is mergers, amalgamations and acquisitions above the prescribed limits, and decides whether they would hurt competition in the relevant market. Option A is wrong because the securities regulator oversees stock markets, listed-company disclosure and investor protection rather than merger clearance under competition law. Option B is wrong because the central bank's approvals concern banking, payment systems and monetary matters. Option D is wrong because the insurance regulator's remit is the insurance industry. In current-affairs papers the trap is exactly this substitution of one regulator for another, so attach the words proposed combination to the CCI whenever you see them.
