Update on SMS DLT Scrubbing Charges Implementation
With reference to our previous communication on the implementation of DLT scrubbing charges of Rs. 0.025 (2.5p) +GST per SMS which was supposed to be implemented from 1st August 2020, I would like to inform you that in view of current pandemic where all the businesses have been impacted badly, we worked hard with Telecom operators and were able to get this pushed to September, now this would be implementing from 1st September 2020.
For Post-paid Customers: The invoice raised in October 2020 (for September 2020 usage) will carry the additional DLT scrubbing charges of Rs. 0.025 (2.5p) +GST per SMS against all SMS submitted to the DLT platform.
For Pre-paid Customers: The available coins/ balance in your panel will be re-calculated on 1st September 2020 based on additional DLT scrubbing charges of Rs. 0.025 (2.5p) +GST per SMS.
Further, we are in constant touch with the Telecom operators for any updates on it and we would also inform you if there is any change in the above-mentioned date for implementation of the same (Preponement or postponement).
(Please note: You are receiving this email for the information of change in date of DLT scrubbing charges implementation, this has no relation with the Template registration with DLT platform hence you are requested to complete the same on priority.)

Recently, the TRAI announced that it is ready with its blockchain-based DLT platform to overcome fraud and SMS spam and every entity/ business needs to registers with the TRAI DLT Platform.
To overcome fraud and SMS spam TRAI Create a regulation framework, Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, henceforth referred to as the TCCCPR.
The TCCCPR is a significant step towards regulating unsolicited commercial communication. The new regulatory framework has devolved control and regulatory powers to access providers. The Regulations will take effect in a phased manner over a period of days, starting with access providers being made responsible for registering all entities making commercial communications and ensuring their compliance with the TCCCPR Regulations.
