OTP Delivery Verification is an essential security handshake protocol developed by Indian logistics carriers (such as Delhivery, BlueDart, and Shadowfax) to eliminate courier fraud and fake delivery attempts. When the delivery executive scans a parcel "Out for Delivery", a dynamic numeric One-Time Password is sent via SMS and WhatsApp to the registered buyer. The delivery executive’s mobile terminal app physically blocks order completion until the correct OTP is entered, preventing couriers from falsely marking parcels as delivered or refused.

Prior to OTP verification, a major industry issue was "courier fake attempts"—where overworked delivery executives would mark deliveries as "Customer Refused" or "Customer Unavailable" from their bikes without ever visiting the doorstep, triggering premature RTOs.
Modern OTP verification requires active interaction between the delivery agent and the buyer. Furthermore, on Cash on Delivery orders, it prevents unscrupulous delivery personnel from pocketing collected cash and claiming the package was lost.
