LEI Code Registration 

All you need to know

What is LEI Code Registration?   

LEI stands for Legal Entity Identifier, a unique 20-character alphanumeric code issued to legally identify parties involved in financial transactions worldwide. It helps regulators and financial institutions track and verify the identity of entities participating in financial markets. In India, LEI Code Registration is mandatory for companies, LLPs, trusts, and other legal entities that conduct financial transactions such as borrowing, investing, or trading in securities. It ensures transparency and accountability in all financial dealings.

Ebizfiling assists entities in obtaining their LEI code through accredited issuing organizations (Local Operating Units), ensuring a smooth and compliant registration process.

Please note that the LEI number is mandatory for the FCGPR filing as per new requirement.

Who Needs an LEI Code?   

  • Companies borrowing funds from banks or NBFCs.

  • LLPs or firms investing in securities or mutual funds.

  • Entities making cross-border payments or forex transactions.

  • Businesses involved in derivatives or OTC markets.

  • Any organization required by RBI or SEBI to obtain an LEI.

Formation and Structure of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) Code   

A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) consists of a unique 20-character alphanumeric code structured under the ISO 17442 standard. Below is how it is formed:

  • Characters 1–4: Represent the prefix assigned by the Local Operating Unit (LOU), such as LEIL–3358, identifying the issuing authority.

  • Characters 5–6: These are two reserved characters, always marked as 00.

  • Characters 7–18: A unique combination generated and assigned by the LOU to each legal entity based on transparent allocation rules.

  • Characters 19–20: These are check digits used to verify the accuracy and validity of the complete LEI code.

This format ensures every LEI issued globally is unique, standardized, and easily verifiable in the financial database.
