Competition Commission of India denies media reports on imposing penalty on Google

NEW DELHI: The Competition Commission of India ( CCI) has denied reports that it has imposed penalty on Google.

“Media reported that the High Court of Delhi has stayed an order of the Competition Commission of India imposing a penalty of .`1 crore on Google Inc for allegedly failing to provide information in a probe into a case related to unfair trade practices in India. With respect to the case in which CCI has not imposed any penalty hence, question of stay of penalty does not arise,” said a statement from CCI.

The Competition Commission of India is investigating Google on the basis of a complaint in which it was alleged that Google Adwords accounts are opaque and not transparent.
