Google gets CCI notices for non-payment of Rs 2,274-Cr penalties
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has issued demand notices to Google for its failure to pay within the stipulated time the penalties imposed on the internet major for anti-competitive practices.
In October, CCI imposed a steep penalty of Rs 1,337.76 crore on Google for abusing its dominant position in multiple markets in relation to Android mobile devices and ordered the internet major to cease and desist from various unfair business practices.
The regulator had also directed Google to modify its conduct within a defined timeline. Then, again after a week, the regulator imposed a penalty of Rs 936.44 crore on the internet major for abusing its dominant position with respect to its Play Store policies.
The CCI had also directed the company to cease and desist from unfair business practices as well as carry out various measures to address the anti-competitive issues within a defined timeline.
According to Google, appeals have been filed in both cases. As per the process, based on the outcome of the application seeking a stay on CCI orders, the penalties will become payable. Under the competition law, an entity has to pay the fine within 30 days of receiving the demand notice, failing which the regulator can invoke its powers to recover the amount.
Recently, a Google spokesperson said it has decided to appeal the regulator’s decision on Android, adding, “As we believe it presents a major setback for our Indian users and businesses who trust Android's security features and potentially raising the cost of mobile devices.” Google has filed appeals before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) against the CCI’s both orders. The appeals are yet to be heard by the tribunal.
