Business Regulatory Framework is specially designed to serve as an undergraduate textbook for BCom (Honours and General) students of University of Calcutta (CU). The book seeks to provide a comprehensive coverage of the various topics relating to business law.

The book is divided into two modules. The first module provides an overview of various Acts which include the Indian Contract Act, 1872, Sale of Goods Act, 1930, Indian Partnership Act, 1932, Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, and Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The second module deals exclusively and exhaustively with Indian Company Law with emphasis on the new Companies Act, 2013.

Written in a simple language, the book cuts through complex legal terminology, which will be appreciated by the students. The theoretical constructs are further elucidated through several real cases, examples, and chapter-end case studies.
