Google removes 30 personal loan apps from its Play Store after RBI raises red flags. | Photo Credit: BCCL New Delhi: Internet giant Google has started to eliminate personal loan apps that do not comply with the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) guidelines from its Android Play Store following orders from the banking regulator to keep a watch on the excess of fintech applications hosted on the search giant’s platform. It is worth noting that the tech giant has cracked the whip on lending apps, who are not authorised lenders, targeting vulnerable borrowers to offer loans at exorbitant interest rates and then using extreme measures for recovery of money. Plus, RBI has set up a working group to examine all aspects of digital lending activities to help it implement an appropriate regulatory framework. In December, the apex bank had cautioned people not to fall prey to the unauthorised digital lending platforms and mobile apps.
