Google Removes Indian Apps Over Fee Dispute, Sparks Startup Outcry

The tech giant's enforcement of service fees, backed by court rulings, leads to the removal of key Indian apps, including matrimony services.

Google began removing apps from Indian companies, including popular matrimony apps, over a dispute regarding service fee payments.
The dispute follows efforts by Indian startups to prevent Google from imposing a fee of 11% to 26% on in-app payments.
Google's decision is based on court rulings allowing it to charge the fee or remove apps, despite protests from the Indian startup community.
Only 3% of Indian developers on Google Play are required to pay any service fee, according to Google.
Developers can resubmit their apps to the Play Store by adhering to the payment policy, potentially reversing the removals.
