According to the PTI report, the notice has been issued by the Ministry of Electronics and IT after reviewing replies of blocked apps. The government had blocked 59 Chinese apps in June and 118 more apps, including PUBG mobile game, in September.

The main reason for the ban of PUBG Mobile India and other Chinese apps was that they posed a threat to India's sovereignty and security. The Ministry of Information Technology had blocked the apps under section 69A of the Information Technology Act after learning that the apps are engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order.

Since the ban, PUBG Mobile India has been trying to stay relevant with some teasers released during the period of Diwali. PUBG Corporation has repeatedly maintained that it was committed to providing a secure gameplay environment and the data of all Indian players will be securely stored.

Meanwhile, PUBG Mobile India rival, the Fearless and United Guards or FAU-G is set to launch in India tomorrow, January 26th. Earlier this month, the official title track for the upcoming indigenous game FAU-G was launched. The multi-player game was first announced by Film star Akshay Kumar soon after most famous game PUBG Mobile was banned in India. So, what is PUBG Mobile loss, is all set to be a major gain for Fau-G app.
