![Google removes matrimony apps, firms cry foul](https://cdn.magzter.com/1588254327/1709322921/articles/LUvymugdG1709330605213/GOOGLE-REMOVES-MATRIMONY-APPS-FIRMS-CRY-FOUL.jpg)
Google said 10 companies in the country, including "many well-established" had avoided paying fees despite benefiting from the platform.
It did not name the firms but a search of Play Store on android phones did not give results for matrimonial apps such as Shaadi, Matrimony.com and Bharat Matrimony. Balaji Telefilms' Altt (formerly ALTBalaji), audio platform Kuku FM, dating service Quack Quack, Truly Madly also disappeared from the Play Store.
The dispute is over Google imposing a fee of 11 per cent to 26 per cent on in-app payments after anti-competition body CCI ordered scrapping of an earlier system of charging 15 per cent to 30 per cent.
Google went ahead to remove the apps not paying the fee after the Supreme Court did not provide interim relief to companies behind these apps in their battle against the search giant’s platform fees.
