Probe against Google’s ‘discriminatory’ pricing

Fair trade watchdog CCI, on Friday, ordered a probe against Google for alleged discriminatory practices with respect to its Play Store pricing policy after finding a prima facie violation of the competition law.

The order for detailed investigation comes less than two years after the Competition Commission of India (CCI) penalised and passed various directions against Google regarding Play Store policies. The regulator’s latest decision came on a raft of complaints that Google’s updated payment policies in relation to its proprietary app store—Google Play Store—which is alleged to be in violation of the competition law.

The complainants are Anupam Mittal’s People Interactive India Pvt Ltd, Mebigo Labs Pvt Ltd, Indian Broadcasting and Digital Foundation (IBDF) and the IDMIF.
