If you're planning to use any bulk SMS service for sending transactional SMS or bulk SMS marketing campaigns in India, you are legally required to register as a Principal Entity (PE) on a DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) platform. This process ensures that your communications comply with TRAI regulations and reduces the chances of unsolicited messages.
What is a PE ID?
A PE ID (Principal Entity ID) is a unique identifier allotted to your business upon successful registration on a DLT platform. Having this ID allows you to:
Register message headers and templates
Stay compliant with TRAI norms
Eligible Operators for DLT PE Registration
You can register with any of the TRAI-approved operators like Airtel, Jio TrueConnect, Vodafone Idea, BSNL, or Videocon. Once registered, your PE ID is valid across platforms.

Business Registration Certificate
PAN Card
GST Certificate
