Overview
- 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.
