What is BSNL DLT Registration?

BSNL DLT registration refers to the mandatory process of registering your business entity on BSNL's Trubloq platform—a blockchain-based Distributed Ledger Technology system. Operated by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), one of India's largest telecom service providers, this platform ensures compliance with TRAI's TCCCPR 2018 regulations for commercial SMS communications.

Unlike DLT registration, which is completely not free, BSNL DLT charges a nominal fee but offers robust infrastructure backed by India's government telecom network. The DLT BSNL platform, also known as BSNL Trubloq, maintains transparent records of every commercial message, preventing spam and unauthorized template misuse.
