Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar has revealed that the government is keenly on the lookout for the dubious loan related applications that may be downloaded from Google or Apple playstores and then be used to exploit the unsuspecting masses.
Talking to ANI, he said, “Today both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store have many many applications that are used by the Indians. We are tracking one set of applications which are loan applications…We have issued an advisory to both Google and Apple that they must not onboard unsafe applications or illegal applications…It is our government’s objective and mission to keep the internet safe and trusted for all ‘digital nagriks’…We intend to have the earliest meeting with the RBI to make sure there is a whitelisting that means to make a norm of only allowing permitted loan applications on these two stores.”
