Google on Friday night deleted some of the popular Indian sites from its Play Store citing Google Play billing system (GBPS). Other apps like KuKu FM have also not been restored in the Play Store, while Shaadi.com is back. In the Play Store, while looking for BharaMatrimony or KuKu FM, a message pops up saying, “this app isn’t available”. Janakiraman said in a social media post that there were news reports mentioning Google to restore apps on Play Store after IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw’s intervention. Google does not offer any special services for digital services apps compared to other commercial digital apps such as e-commerce apps, B2B apps and food delivery apps.
