TRAI’s new message codes, P, T, S, G, help identify promotions, transactions, services, and government alerts. Stay safe from mobile fraud.
TRAI now requires every commercial SMS to end with P, T, S, or G. These codes tell you if a message is a promotion, transaction, service alert, or government notification, helping users stay safe from spam and fraud.
The letter P marks Promotional messages like ads or marketing alerts. For example, AD-Myntra-P is a pure promotion. You can skip these messages without worry, saving time and avoiding unnecessary distractions.
T indicates Transactional messages, including OTPs, bank alerts, and debit/credit notifications. Examples: AX-Axis-T, HDFCBN-T. These messages are sensitive—read carefully and never share OTPs or financial details.
S stands for Service messages, such as bill reminders, flight updates, or subscription alerts. They keep you informed about ongoing services, deadlines, and confirmations so you don’t miss important updates.
G marks official Government messages. Only registered departments can use it for public notifications, vaccination updates, or disaster alerts. Trust messages ending with G for authentic government information.
Check sender formats. Trusted companies and banks use 6–8 letter headers with P, T, S, or G. SMS from normal 10-digit numbers may be spam. Never click unknown links or share OTPs, even if the caller claims to be a bank official.
TRAI’s codes save time and protect users. By recognizing P, T, S, G, you instantly know the type of SMS, avoid unnecessary messages, and stay safe from scams. Awareness is your strongest defense against mobile fraud.
