The term DOT is an abbreviation for Department of Telecommunication, and the term OSP stands for Other Service Providers. The new telecom policy (NTP) 1999 makes it mandatory for certain kind of business, also known as Other Service Providers (OSP) to obtain a License before starting the business and no business can continue without a valid license. The services providers using telecom resources are categorised as OSP and includes BPO or KPO Services, Voice based or Non Voice based Call Centers, E-Commerce Companies, Tele-banking, Tele-medicine, Tele-education, and all other IT enabled services.
Only a company registered under the companies Act, 2013 can make an application for the grant of DOT OSP License and can further avail telecom resources and infrastructure that was built for communication purposes from the authorized telecom service providers, who has been duly approved by the DOT for that purpose.
