Google billing issue: CCI denies interim relief to Indian internet firms

Economic Times · 1y

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has dismissed interim pleas by Indian internet companies urging the antitrust watchdog to restrict Google from levying commissions for in-app purchases and delisting apps for non-compliance with Google's Play Store policies. The denial of interim relief by CCI follows an investigation initiated on March 15 into Google's Play Store billing norms on charges of violating competition laws. The pleas were filed by People Interactive and Mebigo Labs, which operate Shaadi.com and Kuku FM, respectively.
