Jan 24 (Reuters) - Indian ride-hailing firm Ola Consumer

on Friday said it does not set fares based on a user's phone

model, a day after global rival Uber ( UBER ) denied allegations

of differential pricing for Android and Apple ( AAPL ) phones.

Ola and Uber ( UBER ) received notices from an Indian government

consumer body on Thursday, directed by consumer affairs minister

Pralhad Joshi, following media reports and complaints that Apple ( AAPL )

users were charged higher for the same ride than those using

phones that ran on Android operating systems.

"We have a homogenous pricing structure for all our

customers and we do not differentiate based on the operating

system of the user's cellphone for identical rides," an Ola

Consumer spokesperson said.

"We have clarified the same to the Central Consumer

Protection Authority (CCPA) today, and we will work with them to

clear any misunderstanding in this regard."

Apple ( AAPL ) and Google have not yet responded to Reuters' requests

for comments.
