Why TRAI DLT compliance matters

Non-compliance gets you fined, blocked, or excluded from telecom routes. Here's the regulatory landscape.

TRAI fines & blocks

TRAI can fine you, block your sender IDs, or exclude you from telecom routing if you send unsolicited messages or call DND numbers.

DLT registration is mandatory

All commercial messaging in India requires DLT registration on telecom operator portals. No DLT = no delivery.

Consent must be documented

Every recipient must have given explicit consent to receive messages/calls. Digital audit trail required for TRAI inspections.

DND scrubbing is required

Calls/SMS to DND-registered numbers without explicit consent are illegal. DND list must be scrubbed before every campaign.

Calling window enforced

Outbound commercial calls only between 8am–9pm (with some exceptions). Off-hours calls trigger complaints.

Recording disclosure required

Call recording must be disclosed in caller's preferred language at the start of the call. Failure = customer complaint.

Templates change frequently

TRAI + operators update DLT rules every 6–12 months. Existing templates may need re-registration.

Audit logs required

Detailed audit logs for every call/SMS (timestamp, recipient, consent status, opt-out tracking) needed for TRAI inspections.

Sectoral overlays for BFSI

BFSI gets RBI Fair Practices Code on top of TRAI — calling time restrictions, no harassment, recording retention. Multi-layer compliance.

What's in scope

DLT compliance is more than just one registration form. Here's everything we handle:

  • Entity registration on Jio TrueConnect, Airtel IQ, Vi DLT, BSNL DLT

  • Header / Sender ID registration (up to 3 IDs)

  • Template registration in correct category (Promotional, Transactional, Service, OTP)

  • 8am–9pm calling window enforcement

  • Audit log structure (TRAI-inspection ready)

What's NOT in scope (charged separately)

Some adjacent compliance work is separate:

  • DPDP Act 2023 compliance (personal data protection) — separate consulting

  • RBI Fair Practices Code (BFSI-specific) — add-on for BFSI customers

  • HIPAA-aware healthcare data handling — add-on for healthcare

  • PCI compliance for payment data — separate specialist

  • Outside-India compliance (US TCPA, EU GDPR) — separate consulting

  • Telecom operator pricing negotiation — we recommend BSPs but don't negotiate rates

  • Telecom carrier dispute resolution (operator-specific issues)
