Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)?
An LEI is a 20-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a legal entity that participates in financial transactions. It is required for entities dealing in large-value transactions under RBI directions, such as borrowing above the prescribed threshold, and is used by banks and regulators to track exposures.
Who is required to obtain an LEI?
Under RBI directions, entities undertaking specified large-value transactions — for example, loans above a set limit or transactions in OTC derivatives — must have an LEI. The requirement also extends to entities with exposures above the threshold in certain markets. We confirm whether your transaction size makes an LEI mandatory.
How long does LEI registration take?
LEI registration is processed by an accredited LOU after your application and KYC documents are verified. Depending on the LOU and completeness of documents, it is typically issued within a few working days. We complete the application accurately to avoid verification queries and speed up issuance.
What documents are needed for LEI registration?
You need the entity’s registration certificate, PAN, address proof, and details of the directors or partners, along with their identification documents. A supporting bank letter may be needed in some cases. We prepare the KYC pack and submit the application to the LOU for you.
When must an LEI be renewed?
An LEI must be renewed annually before its expiry date, and the renewal process requires the entity’s data to be re-verified. An expired LEI means the code is no longer valid for transactions that require it. We track your LEI expiry and prepare the renewal well in advance.
How much does LEI registration cost?
The LEI fee is set by the issuing LOU and is payable per registration and per annual renewal, plus a professional service fee for preparing the application and KYC documents. We confirm the LOU fee for the currency and type of entity before you proceed.
