Google gets CCI notices over unpaid penalties

NEW DELHI: The Competition Commission if India (CCI) is understood to have 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, according to sources.

Google has filed appeals before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) against the CCI’s two orders in October. The appeals are yet to be heard by the tribunal.

In October, the watchdog slapped penalties totalling Rs 2,274 crore in two separate cases on Android mobile system and Play Store policies. The sources said CCI has issued demand notices to Google for non-payment of penalties imposed on the company in the two cases.
