India's Antitrust Body Orders Investigation Into Google Payments App, In-App Billing

News 18  

India’s antitrust body on Monday ordered an investigation into allegations that Alphabet’s Google was abusing its market position to promote its payments app as well as forcing app developers to use its in-app payment system. In its 39-page order, the CCI said Google’s agreements with some smartphone makers to have the Google Pay app pre-installed might “disturb the level playing field” and should be investigated. However, in its order the CCI said that Google Play Store’s in-app billing system – that will from March 31, 2022 force app developers to use it and pay a 30 percent commission – should be investigated. Google’s statement said its billing system helps ensure its continued investment “in the many important things needed to make developers successful.” The case is one of several antitrust challenges that Google faces in India, including a case on alleged abuse of dominance in the smart TV market as well as in its mobile Android operating system segment.
