According to reports, the Competition Commission of India served demand letters to Google for failing to pay the fines levied on the internet giant for anti-competitive actions within the allotted time.

Google has appealed the CCI two orders from October to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT). The panel has not yet heard the appeals.

In two separate cases involving the Android mobile operating system and Play Store regulations, CCI imposed fines totaling Rs 2,274.2 crore in October.

Google received demand letters from CCI for failing to pay the fines levied against it in the two cases.

It instructed the tech giant to pay each of the penalties within 60 days after receiving the order in question while passing the orders, one on October 20 and another on October 25.

CCI sent out the demand notifications since Google has not yet paid the fines. A company is required by the competition statute to pay the fine within 30 days of receiving the demand notice; otherwise, the regulator may use its legal recourse to recoup the money.

Google claims that appeals have been submitted in both situations.

The fines will be due in accordance with the procedure depending on the outcome of the request for a stay of the CCI directives, according to the tech giant.

In accordance with the competition law, if the decision is not appealed, the entity must pay the fine within the allotted time.

Google was hit with a hefty fine of Rs 1,337.76 crore by CCI on October 20 for abusing its position of market dominance in respect to Android mobile devices. The internet giant was also told to stop engaging in a number of unfair business practices.

The regulator also instructed Google to change its behavior within a specific time frame when it issued the order, which it did after more than three years of comprehensive investigation.

Then, on October 25, the regulatory body fined the internet giant Rs 936.44 crore for abusing its dominant position in relation to its Play Store policies.

Additionally, it instructed the tech giant to stop all unfair business practices and take a number of steps to rectify the anti-competitive issues within a certain time frame.
