Consent Registration:

As per the recent update received from TRAI, all Principal Entities are required to declare and register the consents of their customers on the DLT portal of Telecom Service Providers (TSPs).

The need of Consent Registration?
This update is particularly important to customers sending service explicit messages. In the absence of customer consent in the TSPs system, the PE shall not be able to send consent-based promotional/service explicit messages to their subscribers/customers.

Step 1: Consent Template Registration
