DLT Registration Salem
DLT Registration Salem Tamil Nadu – Step-by-Step Guide 2026
Published: June 2026 | By Draft4SMS Team, Salem
If your Salem or Tamil Nadu business sends commercial SMS messages to customers, DLT registration is mandatory as per TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) regulations. Without it, your SMS campaigns will be blocked by mobile networks and will never reach your customers. This guide explains what DLT registration is, who needs it, how to complete it and how Draft4SMS helps Salem businesses get it done — completely free.
What is DLT Registration?
DLT stands for Distributed Ledger Technology. The TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) introduced the DLT regulation under TCCCPR 2018 to fight SMS spam and fraud. Every business that sends commercial SMS in India — including all Salem and Tamil Nadu businesses — must register on a TRAI-approved DLT platform before they can send any SMS.
The DLT system has three levels of registration:
- 1Entity Registration — Your business (PE ID) registration with your company documents and GST/PAN details.
- 2Header (Sender ID) Registration — The 6-digit numeric (Promotional) or 6-character alpha (Transactional) Sender ID that appears as the SMS sender.
- 3Content Template Registration — Each SMS template you want to send must be pre-registered and approved. Only registered templates can be sent.
Who Needs DLT Registration in Salem and Tamil Nadu?
Every business or organisation in Salem and Tamil Nadu that sends commercial SMS must complete DLT registration. This includes:
Step-by-Step DLT Registration Process for Salem Businesses
Step 1: Choose a DLT Platform
Register on any one of the TRAI-approved DLT platforms: Videocon (SmartPing), Jio (TrueConnect), Airtel DLT Connect, Vodafone (VIL Power), MTNL or BSNL. All platforms interconnect, so registering on one is sufficient for sending across all networks in Salem and Tamil Nadu.
Step 2: Register Your Entity (PE ID)
Create an account on the DLT platform and submit your business details — company name, GST number, PAN card, address proof and authorised representative details. For Salem businesses, your registered Salem address will be used. After submission, you will receive your unique PE (Principal Entity) ID, typically within 1–3 business days.
Step 3: Register Your Sender ID (Header)
Log in to the DLT platform and register your Sender ID. For Promotional SMS in Salem, use a 6-digit numeric code (e.g., 735809). For Transactional SMS, use a 6-character alpha code that matches or resembles your business name (e.g., DRFT4S for Draft4SMS). Header approval takes 1–2 business days.
Step 4: Register Your Message Templates
Every SMS message you want to send must be registered as a template on the DLT platform. Variable parts of the message (like customer name, OTP, amount) are marked as {#var#} placeholders. Choose the correct template category: Service Implicit (OTP), Service Explicit (promotional) or Transactional (banking alerts). Template approval takes 1–3 business days.
Step 5: Start Sending DLT-Compliant SMS
Once your entity, headers and templates are approved, share your DLT details with Draft4SMS. We configure your Salem account to use your approved Sender ID and templates. You can then start sending fully compliant Bulk SMS campaigns to your customers in Salem and across Tamil Nadu immediately.
