How do I register a DLT Principal Entity?
You need GST, PAN, and authorisation letter. Approval is 24–72 hours on most operator portals.
Every business sending commercial SMS to Indian numbers must register as a Principal Entity (PE) on at least one operator's DLT portal. Registration is free. Once registered, your PE ID propagates to all operators within 48 hours.
Documents you need
- Company PAN card (scan, legible).
- GST registration certificate.
- Authorisation letter on company letterhead, signed by a director or authorised signatory.
- Contact details of the authorised signatory (mobile and email).
- A chosen six-character header (e.g. SMSLCL, CAREIN).
