India’s antitrust watchdog Competition Commission of India (CCI) has scrapped a case claiming that Facebook-owned WhatsApp has abused its dominant positions in India to expand in the digital payments market. The petition filed by lawyer Harshita Chawla in March 2020, alleged that WhatsApp was bundling its digital payments facility WhatsApp Payments within its messaging app, which has close to 400 Mn users in India.
