DLT Registration Made Easy: A Step-by-Step Guide.

DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) registration is now a mandatory process for businesses and marketers using bulk SMS services. It ensures transparency, security, and compliance with telecom regulations, preventing spam and fraudulent messages. If you're looking to get started with bulk SMS, this guide will walk you through the DLT registration process in simple steps.

1. Understand DLT for Bulk SMS

DLT is a blockchain-based registration system introduced by the TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) to prevent spam messages and unauthorized SMS marketing. Every business or individual sending bulk SMS must register their entity, sender IDs, and message templates on a DLT platform.

2. Check Regulatory Requirements

Before beginning the registration process, ensure that your business complies with the guidelines set by TRAI. Some important requirements include:
✔ Valid business documents (GST certificate, PAN card, etc.)
✔ Sender ID and message template approval
✔ Payment of registration fees (if applicable)

3. Prepare Your Business Information

To register successfully, have the following details ready:

• Business name and contact details
  
  
• PAN/GST details
  
  
• Registered business address
  
  
• Authorized person’s details (with ID proof)
  
  

4. Choose the Right DLT Platform

Various telecom providers offer DLT registration platforms, including:

• Jio DLT :- (https://trueconnect.jio.com/#/)

Select a platform that suits your needs and follow their registration process.

5. Register on the DLT Platform

Visit the selected DLT provider’s website and complete your business registration by filling in the necessary details and submitting the required documents. Once submitted, the approval process may take a few days.

6. Pay the Registration Fees

Some DLT platforms may require a one-time registration fee or annual charges. Complete the payment process as per your selected provider’s guidelines to activate your registration.

7. Register Your SMS Sender IDs

A sender ID is a unique name (e.g., "ABCINFO") that appears when customers receive SMS messages from your business. Choose an appropriate sender ID and register it on the DLT platform.

8. Submit Your Template for Approval

To prevent spam, all SMS content must be pre-approved. Submit your SMS templates for verification, including promotional, transactional, and OTP messages. Ensure compliance with TRAI’s content policies to avoid rejection.

9. Integration with Your SMS Gateway

Once registered, integrate the DLT-approved sender ID and templates with your SMS gateway provider. This step ensures that all messages comply with DLT regulations and are successfully delivered to recipients.

10. Start Sending Bulk SMS

With all approvals in place, you can now start sending bulk SMS while complying with DLT guidelines. Monitor your message delivery and update templates as required to maintain compliance.
