Google asks apps to use its billing system outside India

Google is asking Indian app developers to mandatorily use its Google Play Billing System (GPBS) in territories outside India, failing which their apps will be delisted from the Google Play Store in 14 days, said Anupam Mittal, the founder of Shaadi.com’s parent company, People Group.

In a tweet, Mittal said: “Received a call from @Google today mandating their payments for Indian developers in continued violation & disregard of @CCI_India orders & Indian laws. Neo-colonialism at its worst! Hope the media, courts & @PMOIndia are taking note … the Digital East India Co is here”.
