Header (Sender ID) Registration Process on DLT Platforms

There are 2 types of Headers to choose from in DLT platforms. Please view below the registration process for each of the headers:

Others (for SMS such as OTPs, alerts, etc.):
Add your preferred 6-character alpha headers (sender ID) in the text box > Justify the chosen headers in the description box and/or by attaching a supporting document
Promotional (for SMS such as offers, discounts, etc.):
Add your preferred 6-digit numeric headers (sender ID) in ‘Find your Header’ text box > Select your category/industry type from the drop-down > Justify the chosen headers in the description box and/or by attaching a supporting document

Note for header type ‘Others’:

Headers (Sender names) are case-sensitive i.e. ABCDEF and abcdef are two different sender names and can be registered separately.

The Header selected should match your entity name. If the header name is different:
- For Videocon DLT: Please attach a document/image showing the website link, trademark certificate or any other document/image proving the relation between your entity name and your requested header.
- For VIL/BSNL DLT: Please mention the website link, trademark certificate or any other reference proving the relation between your entity name and your requested header. Also, mention your mobile number in the description to facilitate a call back by the DLT support team for any clarifications.

DLT Registration & BharatDeal – Where and how can we help?

Mandatory new regulations: Please note that the new TRAI regulations have been enforced by the telecom operators and there is nothing BharatDeal can do to push back the implementation. Without the necessary sender names (headers) approvals at any one of the DLT portals, your SMS will be blocked by telecom operators.
There maybe certain vendors allowing transactional traffic under common headers but this is against TRAI regulations (not to mention the inferior customer experience). We recommend getting your own sender names/headers by registering on DLT portals!
Approvals stuck at DLT portals: The DLT portals are maintained and supported by respective telecom operators. BharatDeal staff has neither visibility nor control on why and where the entity (PE) registrations are stuck. The respective DLT portals will directly communicate with you over email regarding approval status, any missing documentation etc. Please check your emails and provide additional docs as needed.
We have limited “read” access to your basic details only after your KYC verification is done and after you select IMI Mobile as the Telemarketer.

Process changes: We have detailed our understanding of the registration processes and provided a step-by-step guide on how to register and get headers approved on 4 portals (Videocon, VIL, BSNL, Trueconnect Jio) in this webpage. However, we observed the processes may go through small changes – we will keep the information updated on this page. Once again, SMS providers and aggregators (such as BharatDeal) have no control over these changes.
DLT registration charges: The fees imposed by different DLT portals is also outside our control. We are only providing you with the available options (where the processes are clear to us) and encouraging those who can to register on multiple portals for speedy approvals.
DLT approval timelines: Due to heavy rush at the operator portals, we have been informed that the approval queues are constantly increasing, implying increasing approval timelines and SLAs.
