The order was passed in response to information filed by Matrimony.com Limited and Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS) in 2012.

The penalty on Google was imposed after taking into account its revenue from its India ops only.

Google was in 2017 fined a record €2.4bn by the EU, again for similar wrongdoing.
