NEW DELHI,OCT 25: Tech giant Google on Tuesday was slapped with another fine for abusing its dominant position with respect to Play Store policies. The company has been asked to pay Rs 936.44 crore as penalty in the latest order. This is the second sanction imposed by the regulator in less than a week.

The CCI on October 20 had imposed a penalty of Rs 1,337.76 crore on Google for abusing its dominant position in multiple markets in the Android mobile device ecosystem.

The CCI has ordered Google to cease and desist from all “unfair business practices”, reported news agency PTI. It also also directed the search engine firm to modify its conduct within a specific time.

Smart mobile devices need an operating system (OS) to run applications (apps) and programs. Android is one such mobile operating system acquired by Google in 2005. The commission examined various practices of Google with respect to licensing of this Android mobile operating system and various proprietary mobile applications of Google, such as Play Store, Google Search, Google Chrome, YouTube, etc.

The CCI found that Google’s business was driven by the ultimate intent of increasing users on its platforms so that they interact with its revenue-earning service, that is, online search, which directly affects the sale of online advertising services by the company.
