State-owned telecom service provider Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has advised business entities involved in sending commercial communication to register themselves as principal entity mandatorily to keep in line with TRAI rules.
BSNL in a press release stated that such business entities should register themselves as principal entity mandatorily on the BSNL DLT portal www.ucc-bsnl.co.in. The headers/SMS Sender IDs/number from which they send out commercial communication along with the SMS and call content templates must also be registered in line with regulations.
