Google's decision to extend the time for developers in India to integrate with the Play billing system comes in the wake of criticism it has received from various stakeholders.
The move, the tech giant said, is to ensure that the Indian developers have "enough time to implement the UPI for subscription payment option that will be made available on Google Play".
