LEI Registration

What is a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)?

The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a 20‑digit alpha‑numeric code used to uniquely identify legal entities participating in financial transactions worldwide. It is issued by Local Operating Units (LOUs) accredited by the Global LEI Foundation (GLEIF). In India, the RBI has mandated LEI for all corporate borrowers, entities dealing in OTC derivatives, and large corporate transactions.

Who Needs an LEI?

  • Companies and LLPs borrowing Rs. 5 crore and above from banks.
  • Entities dealing in OTC derivatives, interest rate swaps, and forex transactions.
  • Large corporates and NBFCs reporting to credit bureaus.
  • Non‑profit organisations undertaking international grant agreements.
  • Any organisation dealing with global counterparties.

Benefits of an LEI

  • Mandatory compliance with RBI and global financial regulations.
  • Streamlined KYC and credit appraisal processes.
  • Enhanced transparency and reduced fraud in cross‑border transactions.
  • Globally recognised — valid across 200+ countries.

Documents Required

  • Certificate of Incorporation / Registration certificate.
  • PAN card of the entity.
  • Address proof of the registered office.
  • Board resolution or letter of authority for LEI application.
  • Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of the authorised signatory (optional but recommended).

RBI Mandate

Without an LEI, corporate borrowers may face difficulties in loan processing, and entities dealing in forex/derivatives may be denied transactions. The RBI has made LEI compulsory for all eligible entities.
