Why DLT Registration is Essential for SMS Marketing in India (2025 Guide)

🚀 Introduction

If you’re running SMS campaigns in India, you’ve likely heard about DLT registration. But what is it, why does it matter, and how can you ensure you’re compliant?

In 2020, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) mandated DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) registration for all businesses using bulk SMS. This system ensures transparency, security, and reduced spam — a move that directly impacts how your promotional and transactional SMS are delivered.

Let’s understand everything about DLT registration, why it’s a must in 2025, and how Astral Promotion can help you register and deliver SMS without disruptions.

✅ What is DLT Registration?

DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) is a blockchain-based registration system introduced by TRAI to:

• Control spam and fraud in SMS marketing
• Authenticate sender IDs and message templates
• Monitor message delivery transparency

Every business, whether a small retailer or a national brand, must register on the DLT portal and get approval before sending any SMS.

✅ Why is DLT Mandatory in India?

TRAI observed increasing misuse of SMS services by unregistered entities. To bring regulation and traceability, DLT was made mandatory for:

• Bulk promotional SMS
• OTP and transactional SMS
• Sender ID setup
• Message template approval

Failing to comply can lead to:

• Message delivery failure
• Sender ID blocks
• Penalties from telecom operators

✅ Astral Promotion ensures 100% compliance with every DLT guideline, so you never face message rejection.

✅ Step-by-Step DLT Registration Process

Here’s a simplified version of what Indian businesses must do:

1. Choose a DLT Operator Portal
   Register on any telecom operator’s DLT portal (e.g., Jio, Airtel, Vodafone).
2. Enter Business KYC Details
   Submit PAN, GST, company registration, and contact details.
3. Get a Unique Entity ID
   Once verified, you receive a 19-digit Entity ID.
4. Register Sender ID (Header)
   Example: “ASTSMS” or “PROMO1”. This shows as the SMS sender.
5. Submit Message Templates
   Pre-approved content format that gets attached to every outgoing SMS.
6. Integration with SMS Gateway
   Link your DLT-verified sender ID and templates to Astral Promotion’s bulk SMS panel.
