Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) Code
A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) Code is a unique 20-character alphanumeric code used to identify legal entities participating in financial transactions. It enhances transparency in financial markets and is mandatory for certain transactions regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
LEI registration is required for companies engaging in large-value financial transactions, derivatives, and foreign exchange dealings.
