These regulations are designed to significantly curb the sending of unsolicited commercial SMSes to consumers. Starting from sept 27th 2011 every SMS service provider has to adhere to the new TRAI NCPR (National Customer Preference Register (NCPR)) guidelines. Check Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Portal for more details on new TRAI guidelines.

Are banks exempt from not sending messages between 9 pm and 9 am? I have always received messages from HDFC Bank at odd times, 2 am, 3 am, 5:30 am this morning!
 
that could be related to batch system updates and processing during lean hours.

I get messages from Citibank and ICICI Bank at normal hours. HDFC Bank is the only one to send messages at odd hours. They should upgrade their systems so that they can send messages as and when they are generated, not batch them and send at odd times.

Anyway, does the 9 pm to 9 am restriction not apply to banks?
 
It applies to banks also , but transaction related messages will remain unaffected.
 
So we can still send more then 100 sms through way2sms in 1 day? No word mentioned about that...
