LEI Registration Services

Getting your Legal Entity Identifier code issued through an accredited Local Operating Unit, and keeping it renewed every year so RBI-regulated transactions are never held up.

Quick answer

LEI registration is the process of applying for a Legal Entity Identifier through a Local Operating Unit accredited by the Global LEI Foundation, such as Legal Entity Identifier India Limited. The application requires the entity's legal name, registered address, ownership and management reference data, and identifiers such as PAN or CIN, and the code is issued once the data is validated. The LEI must be renewed annually to remain active.

Why choose us

Why LEI applications get delayed

What sets our approach apart.

Incomplete ownership data is the most common holdup

Applications that leave out parent entity details, where applicable, are frequently sent back for clarification before issuance.

A lapsed LEI is treated as no LEI at all

Transactions requiring an LEI will not proceed on an expired code, so renewal timing matters as much as the initial application.

Multiple LOUs exist, and service quality varies

Choosing an accredited, responsive Local Operating Unit affects how quickly the code is actually issued.

FAQs

Once complete and accurate reference data is submitted, an LEI is typically issued within a few working days by the Local Operating Unit.
An LEI is valid for one year from issuance or last renewal, after which it must be renewed to remain active for regulated transactions.
No, each legal entity, including an Indian subsidiary, needs its own distinct LEI code, though the parent's LEI is referenced as part of the ownership hierarchy data.
The LEI status changes to lapsed, and banks and counterparties will treat it as invalid for RBI-mandated transactions until it is renewed.
