This has changed the basic pattern of Company Law provisions in India. The enactment was due to the effect of new pattern of economic order and globalisation. The implementation of e-governance in the Company Law Administration also supported the need for amendments in the Companies Act.

Certain new concepts such as, class action suits, one man company, CSR, Company Law Tribunal, Buy back of shares, Corporate Governance, Mergers and Amalgamation, Role and Liability of Independent Directors, Directors Nomination and Remuneration Committee, Depositors Protection etc have been amended with new provisions under this Act.
