The search engine giant should not restrict app developers from using third-party billing or payment processing services in India, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said last week, also fining Google $113 million.
It is reviewing its legal options, as it aims to build its Android and Play services, according to a post on Google’s website seen on Tuesday.
Last month, the CCI had also asked Google to change its approach to its Android platform, slapping another $162 million for anticompetitive practices related to its operating system.
It has come under fire globally, including in South Korea, for mandating software developers using its app store to use a proprietary in-app payment system.
The blog said the requirement to use its billing system still applies for users outside of the country.
