Bulk SMS and DLT Registration in India: A Step-by-Step Guide

In India, sending commercial SMSes requires compliance with Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) regulations, including the registration on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) platforms. DLT ensures transparency and accountability in SMS communication.

Step 1: Understanding DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology): DLT is a system where transactions are recorded across multiple places simultaneously. TRAI mandates DLT registration for entities sending commercial SMSes in India.

Step 2: Register on a DLT Platform: Choose a DLT platform such as Telemarketer Registration (TM) or Principal Entity (PE) and register your organization. Provide necessary details like company name, address, PAN number, etc., and submit required documents such as PAN card, incorporation certificate, and authorized signatory details.

Step 3: Submit Entity and Header Registration: After registration, submit your entity details and register SMS headers (Sender IDs) on the DLT platform. Each header represents your brand or service name.

Step 4: Template Registration: Register message templates for different types of SMSes you plan to send (promotional, transactional, service-related, etc.). Ensure templates comply with TRAI regulations, including content and format restrictions.

Step 5: Template Approval Process: Submitted templates undergo scrutiny by the DLT operator and TRAI. Once approved, they are available for use.

Step 6: Bulk SMS Sending: Use the DLT platform’s APIs or web portal to send bulk SMSes. Ensure SMS content adheres to approved templates and regulations.
