DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) registration is a mandatory process for businesses in India that use SMS and voice calls for marketing or other promotional activities. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has implemented DLT registration to prevent unsolicited commercial communication (UCC) and ensure that only authorized messages are sent to consumers.
