The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has set certain rules for header or sender templates. The following article will clear all the doubts related to the re-verification of content templates.

Why Do We Need To Verify Headers And Content Templates?

It is now mandatory for all individuals and organizations in India who send bulk SMS messages to have their header and content templates reverified every quarter by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India.

If you fail to follow this verification guideline, your headers, and content templates may be suspended and even shifted to the free pool for others to apply for.

To avoid this scenario and ensure the uninterrupted sending of bulk SMS messages through your content templates and headers, it is strongly recommended that you get your templates verified at regular intervals.

When Do You Have To Do The Verification Of Header And Content Templates?

The process of verifying headers and content templates is an essential step for ensuring the accuracy and consistency of information in your documents.

It is important to note that the verification months for these templates are March, June, September, and December. If you have registered your headers or templates in any other month, you will need to get them verified in the upcoming verification month.

For instance, if you have registered your headers or templates between 1st April and 20th May, you will need to get them verified in June.

On the other hand, if you registered them in June, you will need to re-verify your headers and templates in September. This process will help you maintain the quality of your documents and avoid any errors or discrepancies.

How To Re-Verify Headers And Content Templates?

Due to the varying structures of distributed ledger technology (DLT) portals, verification processes differ slightly across them. However, they all follow a similar general process.

1. Log in to your DLT portal
2. On the home page click on the assets for verification section
3. Go to the unverified headers or templates tab
4. Select the header or template you want to verify
5. Click Verify

The headers and templates are now verified. To know the detailed process of different operators you can refer to the following video.

What To Do If Headers Or Template Validity Expires?

If your headers and templates are expired and suspended you still have a warning period of 30 more days to get back your suspended headers and templates verified. To get them verified after the validity expires you can follow these steps;

1. Log in to your DLT portal
2. Go to the assets for verification
3. click on the unverified suspended headers and templates
4. select the header and templates you want to verify
5. click verify.

In this way, you can get your suspended headers and templates verified. However, if you don’t verify the headers and templates within 30 days of suspension the header IDs will move to the free pool. Then you have to apply for header or templates again.
