Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) – Registration & Renewal in India

Straightforward LEI assistance for global financial compliance

As business grows beyond borders, clean identification and transparent reporting become non-negotiable. One of the most important tools in meeting these expectations is the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) — a unique code used worldwide to identify legal entities involved in financial transactions.

If you’re dealing with high-value payments, derivatives, or cross-border trades, you’ll likely need an LEI. We help you secure it quickly and correctly so your business stays compliant and ready for global transactions.

What is an LEI Code?

An LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) is a 20-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies legal entities participating in financial transactions worldwide.

Its purpose is simple:
Make it easy for regulators, banks, and businesses to verify exactly who they’re dealing with.

LEIs are issued globally by accredited Local Operating Units (LOUs).
In India, Legal Entity Identifier India Ltd. (LEIL) is the authorised body.

In short:
LEI = Legal Entity Identifier ? Global identity for businesses.

This system strengthens trust by allowing anyone to confirm an organisation’s structure, jurisdiction, and ownership links in seconds.

Why the LEI Code Matters

The LEI system was introduced to make global finance safer, clearer, and more trackable. As markets became more interconnected, it became essential to know who owns whom and who is behind each financial transaction.

For businesses, this means:

Better Compliance

Regulators like RBI and SEBI mandate LEI for certain transactions. Having an LEI ensures you meet their requirements.

Greater Transparency

Entity details are publicly available, helping banks, investors, and partners verify counterparty legitimacy before transacting.

Stronger Risk Management

An LEI helps institutions identify exposure, assess risk, and reduce uncertainty when dealing with new or unfamiliar entities.

Fraud Prevention

By tying every legal entity to a unique global ID, LEI drastically reduces identity ambiguity and improves accountability.

Operational Ease

With a valid LEI, cross-border payments, reporting, and documentation are faster and smoother.

In short:
LEIs make financial interactions safer and more efficient for everyone involved.

Who Needs an LEI in India?

An LEI is required for many organisations engaged in larger or regulated financial activity. If your business falls in any of the groups below, you may need one.

Financial Institutions

Banks, NBFCs, insurance companies.

Stock Market Participants

Listed companies, brokers, investment and trading entities.

Derivatives & Forex Entities

Any entity dealing in currency or derivatives must have an LEI to ensure transparency and counterparty risk control.

High-Value Transaction Entities

Entities making payments above ?50 crore through RTGS/NEFT require an LEI.

Large Borrowers

Organisations with loan exposure of ?5 crore or more (or financial exposure exceeding ?50 crore) must obtain an LEI.

If your organisation is involved in substantial, structured, or cross-border transactions, an LEI is likely mandatory — and definitely beneficial.
