What is What is Distributed ledger technology? (DLT)?

1. Why is it necessary to register the entity on Videocon DLT Platform?

As per the process we SMSINDIAHUB has been made to understand that we have to get all our users registered on whichever telecom operator’s connectivity we are using for SMS delivery. For e.g. If we are using Multi operator connectivity like BSNL, Videocon, Vodafone, etc. then all our users have to register on all these operator’s DLT Platform. We SMSINDIAHUB also have to register as Telemarketer on all these operator’s DLT Platform.

We are registered on Videocon and videocon has given few days to register all our customers for Free on their DLT platform we are asking our customers to register first on Videocon’s DLT platform.

2. Do I need to pay DLT Registration Fees Rs. 5000+GST (Rs.5900)?

Yes 5900 has to be paid to the telecom operator as DLT registration charge. We are not taking that charge. Also we are getting the entities registered for free whenever the operators are giving us the communication of the same.

3. If we do not register on DLT platform will our SMS delivery be stopped?

We are connected with multiple operator we will try to pass on the maximum possible flexibility to our esteemed client’s, but we SMSINDIAHUB is the aggregator of SMS service wherein we are dependent on the telecom service providers like Vodafone-Idea, Videocon, BSNL, Airtel, MTNL etc. So in case these operators implement the rules strictly as per TRAI mandate then we will be forced to comply with the norms and will not be able to process SMS from Unregistered Entities.

4. Has the entity to do only company registration on DLT platform?

No. Entity registration is only one of the steps, the Further Phase (2) and Phase (3) includes Header (Sender ID) registration and Content Template Registration respectively, which will be communicated soon.

Distributed ledger technology (DLT) is a online system for keeping and managing the record of sender ID and Templates.!
