1) Registration under Other Service Providers (OSP)

Registration under Other Service Providers (OSP) category As per New Telecom Policy (NTP)
1999, Other Service Providers (OSP), such as tele-banking, tele-medicine, tele-trading, e-commerce etc
will be allowed to operate by using infrastructure provided by various access providers for non-telecom
services. The Telecom Commission in May 1999, accorded in principle approval for registration of Call
Centers, both International and Domestic, in the country under the above category. Later, services like
Network Operation Centers and Vehicle Tracking Systems, were also added to this category. As per the
Terms and Conditions formulated by the Telecom Commission in February 2000, these application
Service Providers could take telecom resources from authorized Telecom Service Providers only and may
not infringe upon the jurisdiction of other authorized Telecom Service Providers and they will not provide
switched telephony. The Department of Telecommunication (DOT) will charge a processing fee of
Rs.1000/- per case. From its inception, over 2500 cases have been registered under OSP category till
date. These companies should meet the revised terms and conditions of OSP registration.
Registration of OSPs and Telemarketers is done by the respective Telecom Enforcement,
Resource and Monitoring (TERM) Cells (formerly known as VTM Cells) as per location of the
OSP/Telemarketing Centre.
The Access Service Providers must ensure that the customers have valid registration papers from the
OSP Cell of DoT before providing them with the telecom resources. Action will be taken against Access
Service providers who do not adhere to the above requirement.
