Business Entity Registration

DLT Registration Process

Register on any of the approved DLT platforms by providing the required information and documents. Once you receive your Entity ID/Registration ID, update it in your Arihant Global account:

Header (Sender ID) Registration

Registration Process on DLT Platforms

Two types of headers can be registered:

  • Other/Transactional (OTP, alerts, service updates, etc.) – Requires a 6-character alpha sender ID.

  • Promotional (offers, discounts, marketing messages, etc.) – Requires a 6-digit numeric sender ID.

Important Notes:

  • Headers (Sender IDs) are case-sensitive (e.g., ARIHANT and arihant are different).

  • The header should match your business name. If different, provide supporting documents like website links, trademark certificates, etc.

After approval, email a screenshot of your approved headers to Arihant Global’s support team to configure them in your account.
