This ensures adherence to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smsgatewaycenter.com\/trai-regulation\/\">TRAI regulations<\/a> for SMS traffic in India. The chain requires enterprises to define their telemarketers, who then either act as the Telemarketer Delivery (TMD) or connect to another TM in the chain. The TMD finalizes the workflow by hashing it for DLT scrubbing. This article provides a step-by-step guide for enterprises to initiate a PE-TM Binding Chain on the Airtel DLT portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you begin, ensure you have the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An active enterprise account on the <strong>Airtel DLT portal<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtel.in\/business\/commercial-communication\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/www.airtel.in\/business\/commercial-communication\/home<\/a>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your registered login credentials (username and password).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Telemarketer\u2019s details, such as their Ref ID, DLT ID, or Name, to search for them on the portal (<strong>e.g., 1102523340000011213 for Popular SoftTech and Marketing Private Limited<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Log In to the Airtel DLT Portal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access the <strong>Airtel DLT portal<\/strong> and log in using your registered enterprise credentials.
