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.
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.
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)
To register successfully, have the following details ready:
Various telecom providers offer DLT registration platforms, including:
Select a platform that suits your needs and follow their registration process.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
DLT registration is essential for businesses using bulk SMS services. While the process may initially seem complex, following these steps ensures smooth registration and uninterrupted SMS campaigns. Stay compliant, prevent message blocking, and reach your audience effectively!
