The Competition Commission is understood to have issued demand notices to Google for its failure to pay the penalties imposed on the internet major for anti-competitive practices within the stipulated time, according to sources.

Google has filed appeals before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) against the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) two orders in October. The appeals are yet to be heard by the tribunal.

In October, the watchdog slapped penalties totalling Rs 2,274.2 crore in two separate cases on the Android mobile system and Play Store policies.

The sources said the CCI has issued demand notices to Google for non-payment of penalties imposed on the company in the two cases.

While passing the orders, one on October 20 and another on October 25, the watchdog had directed the company to pay each of the penalties within 60 days of receiving the order. With Google yet to pay the penalties, the CCI has issued the notices.
