The Alliance of Digital India Foundation (ADIF) has filed a petition before the Competition Commission of India (CCI) through their lawyers at Sarvada Legal seeking interim relief from Google’s new PlayStore policy which goes into effect from March 2022.
The matter is already being looked into by the CCI for potential abuse of dominance by Google in the app market.
This relief has been sought by ADIF on behalf of App developers as Google’s new policy will restrict certain categories of apps to use only Google Billing System (GBS) for accepting payments. This would be an issue for app developers
