Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) Code
Mandatory Global ID for Entities Dealing in Financial Transactions
If your business is involved in transactions in securities, derivatives, forex, or large-value payments, obtaining a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) Code is mandatory. The LEI is a 20-digit, globally recognized identification number for companies, trusts, funds, and other legal entities engaging in financial activities.
We assist companies, LLPs, trusts, and institutions with LEI Code registration, renewal, and compliance — ensuring a seamless and compliant experience across financial systems.
What is an LEI Code?
The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a unique 20-character alphanumeric code developed by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF). It helps uniquely identify entities participating in global financial transactions.
In India, LEI is governed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and required by:
- Banks
- Stock Exchanges
- Clearing Corporations
- Payment Systems
It enhances transparency, traceability, and risk monitoring in financial markets.
Who Needs an LEI Code in India?
LEI registration is mandatory for:
- Companies and LLPs making derivative, forex, or securities trades
- Entities participating in RTGS/NEFT transactions ≥ ₹50 crore
- Mutual funds, trusts, pension funds, and AIFs (Alternative Investment Funds)
- Entities regulated by SEBI, RBI, IRDAI, and PFRDA
Even unlisted companies, if involved in financial transactions, may be required to obtain an LEI code.
Structure of an LEI Code

- First 4 digits: Identifier of the Local Operating Unit (LOU)

Each LEI is valid for 1 year and must be renewed annually.
