Register your entity, headers, and templates via any of the DLT platforms
DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) is a blockchain-based registration system that keeps track of transaction records between network participants .
The DLT platform TRAI is being issued in the public interest to prevent fraudulent practice and provide greater safety to the end customer.
First mandatory step to send SMS according to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.
You receive an unique number ID after registration on DLT platform. A principal entity ID will be issued.
Example: 2658xxxxxxxx6587
Alphabetic/numeric entity that will send SMS. Header/sender IDs are shared across other DLT platforms. There should be a business related name in the sender ID.

Message text needs to be approved with a specific Template registration.
Example:Hi , we will be unable to operate from . Please contact your supervisor or check your roster at: . thanks . —>- variable text values.
Go to the new DLT registration URL given above, Fill all the necessary information to receive a temporary ID. You will receive a unique Entity ID from the operator after your documents are verified.
Documents required: Documents to prove business identification, such as a PAN, GST, TAN, CIN, etc.
Note
Register your headers/sender ID in the DLT platform once you have your principle Entity ID. As soon as you have registered, you can add your headers (sender ID) from the Headers tab. Headers/Senders types — Promotional and Transactional.
Promotional header/sender- such as offer, sales discounts, and promotions, choose a 6-digit numeric sender ID prefixed with your industry name.
Transactional header/sender- such as updates, alerts and notifications, choose your preferred header name. Add your desired header name in the text box and give reason for choosing it in the description box.
Choose your header/sender name matching entity name. If it is not similar, give justification for variation.
Note
Template registration for a text in a message is the next step after the registration of sender/header, we need to approve message templates.

Approved template text is rigid in nature, you can change only in included variable values {#var#}. Most of the mistakes happened with extra space, uppercase/lowercase letters, be careful with that.
Length of a variable {#var#} is fixed with 30 characters including full stops, commas and space. Conventional SMS length is 160 characters. But you can keep message length more than 160 characters.
Note: SMS containing more than 160 characters will be counted as two SMS.
