Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is a digital asset transaction record system in which transactions and their details are recorded in multiple locations simultaneously. In the context of telecommunications, DLT is used to regulate and manage commercial communications to ensure their security and transparency.
Why DLT registration is important
DLT registration is mandatory for all entities that send commercial messages, including SMS and voice calls. Registration helps in:
Limiting Spam and Fraudulent Activities.
Ensuring compliance with TRAI regulations.
Strengthening the security and transparency of communication.
DLT registration process step by step
Step 1: Select DLT Portal
The first step is to choose a DLT portal. Various telecom operators in India like Vodafone, Jio and Airtel offer DLT registration. Choose the portal that best suits your business needs.
Step 2: Register on the DLT Portal
Visit DLT Portal: Go to the website of your chosen DLT portal.
Register as a business: Click the registration link and choose to register as a business or main entity.
Provide basic information: Fill in the required information such as your organization name, business type, contact information and authorized person information.
Step 3: Upload the required documents
KYC Documents: Upload Know Your Customer (KYC) documents including PAN card, GST certificate and any other required identification documents.
Authorization Letter: Submit an authorization letter on your company's letterhead signed by an authorized person.
Step 4: Complete entity registration
Submit Details: After uploading the documents, submit the registration form.
Verification: The DLT portal will verify the entered data and documents. It may take several days.

Step 5: Header Registration (Sender ID).
