“They gave us a warning one week ago and we explained that we have been asked to do this. Then today they first removed it around 3 pm IST and then we pursued their team and resubmitted the app after removing the link to Aarogya Setu and now they made it live,” said Singh as per a report by Gadgets360.

Singh also took to Twitter and pointed out that it was in the RBI’s instructions that the app had decided to promote the COVID 19 contact tracing app. “We were asked to do this by regulators ( @RBI ) and understand it’s in public health interest. You have too much power!” added Singh.

Although MobiKwik is now back on the shelves of the Google Play Store, the app no longer has the ads that promote Aarogya Setu. The Indian contact tracing app has over 11.6 crore users as per in-app statistics.  The Aarogya Setu app also recently went open-source.
