However, Krafton has not clearly specified how would it verify parental consent. It might most probably send a text message to the parents’ mobile asking them for permission to allow their kids to play the game. The SMS could have an OTP, which the player might have to enter in the game to play Battlegrounds Mobile India. However, this is just speculation at this point though.
