Overview
OSP Registration
The category “Other Service Providers’ or OSP includes application services sector such as BPOs, call centers, e-learning, telemarketing, e-commerce, telemedicine, network operation centers, and other IT enabled services that use telecom resources. These OSPs are required to obtain a license from the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) as per the New Telecom Policy (NTP), 1999 This is called OSP or call center License. A call center cannot be legally operated without obtaining OSP License.
In order to get this registration, the OSP should be registered mandatorily as a Private Limited Company. Telecom Enforcement, Resource and Monitoring (TERM) is authorized to issue DOT license. This license is valid for 20 years unless specified otherwise, after which it can be extended for up to 10 years each time.
Every OSP is required to file an ‘Annual Return’ within six months of the end of each financial year, failing which it will be put in the dormant list. An OSP lying in the dormant list for two years will have its registration cancelled. The active and dormant lists are published on the DoT website. Additionally, all OSPs must also maintain compliance with the ‘Terms and Conditions’ for OSPs as prescribed by the Department of Telecommunications.

Documents
Documents required for OSP (DoT) compliance
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.

Only Indian companies or LLPs can operate as OSPs.
Prepare the network diagram
Show how your telecom resources are connected and used.
File the intimation on the DoT portal
Submit your company and network details online to the Department of Telecommunications.
Receive acknowledgement
The portal generates an acknowledgement for your records.
Follow the revised guidelines
