For all your unanswered and unresolved queries, we are here to provide the full guidelines
regarding SMS marketing following the new rule implemented by TRAI. From the process of
registration to verification of the content.

The buzz started when TRAI (Telecom regulatory authority of India) brought up the new rule
related to the bulk SMS services. Although, the rule was invoked in 2018 but implemented from
1st of June, 2020.

According to the new rule any bulk SMSs you send across to your customers for SMS marketing
via bulk SMS service providers (Mobishastra) with the specific sender Id, user needs to get that
Sender ID & the content approved on DLT platform. The user or the entity and the bulk SMS
provider who is sending the messages also needs to get their KYC done and then register with their
telecom operators.  

What is DLT & why the rule has been implemented?

DLT is a digital platform that helps keep the record for the sequence of information exchange of
the assets, here the transaction records are saved at different platforms & multiple digital channels
wherein, the sharing of information entered in the panel will be managed through blockchain
technology. Here, the details will be shared on the panel and the entities on the panel will be
interconnected with each other.

Earlier the sending of bulk SMS or doing SMS marketing was easy as the access for sender ID
approval was granted to the telemarketing or SMS marketing companies, from where you have
bought the messages or taken the bulk SMS marketing service and the telemarketers  were directly
connected to the telecom operators that provided the access to send messages, through the operator
the SMS traffic was directly sent to the customers.

The problem with this was many fake and spam messages were being sent to the customers and the
sender was unable to be tracked as there were no track records, with the blockchain technologies
the informative transaction will be shared to every assets and entities of the panel and we will be
able to track the records. The reason for implementing the rule for DLT registration was to
decrease the spam message spread in the market and eradicate the threat of
cheating and scamming.

With the registered sender ID there will be few protocols following that one sender ID
couldn’t be used by the other user. A specific Sender ID will be generated for every individual
user while registering on DLT.

Impact of TRAI’s New Rule for Bulk SMS Marketing

Many users and SMS companies are in a dilemma right now, is this going to affect the SMS
marketing business? But, the answer is a big ‘NO’.

Every new changes and rules seem as a threat before implementation but, this will be for
the long-term benefits of the bulk SMS services. Perhaps the charges have increased but this
will change the stereotype for SMS marketing forever. This will give a space for the SMS
campaigning and customer reliance.

The SMS marketing companies will have a slight increase of 2.5 paisa in the charges payable
to the telecom operators. For a custom sender ID, the user entity will have to register for
5900 INR with a validation of one year, resulting into a fake free SMS campaign and distant
from any legit.

Benefits of the New rule for SMS marketing.

With this new implementation to the Bulk SMS marketing, SMS will be fraudulent free and
bring transparency in the unorganized SMS industry. For the companies and firms, it will be
very beneficial as the registration process will eliminate the unrecognized and counterfeited
competition from the market and will create a huge space in the world of promotional SMS
marketing by decreasing the competition in the market.  

The fake free commercial services will increase the customers’ reliability and trust over the
entities and specify the brand in the market. Your Data transaction will be shared to all the
participants of the panel that will keep a backup for you in case you lose the information.

According to the most recent TRAI rules, each Business or user (Principal Entity) and
Bulk SMS Service Provider (Telemarketer) will currently need to enlist with the Telecom
Operators (Access Providers) to keep sending SMS to their customers. The enlistment is to be
done in the DLT stage. DLT online framework will keep up the record of everything on the board.
It is a common database board which will be directed utilizing Blockchain innovation and all the
elements present in the board will be interconnected with one another.

As per the new guidelines the principal entity will have to get the sender ID and the message
content both to have registered on DLT. TRAI has formulated the guidelines to enhance control,
prevent any fraudulent practice and provide greater safety to the end customer.
As per the revised TRAI guidelines, the companies who want to communicate with their customers
will now have to register themselves with Telecom Operators for sending SMS. The Businesses and
Bulk SMS Service Providers will be accountable to telecom operators.

Though the fact is that the business and researchers are endeavouring to settle the innovative
and operational issues that DLT frameworks face. This article needs to add to the open strategy
banter by introducing potential administrative boundaries that may must be expelled for DLT
to be completely embraced. Likewise, it distinguishes regions requiring an update of the
legitimate system.
