LEI Code: Your Global Financial Passport

A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a 20-digit alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies your business in international financial transactions. Mandated by RBI/SEBI, it enhances transparency, reduces fraud risk, and is essential for entities engaged in cross-border deals, large loans (₹5Cr+), or stock market activities. At CA Vakeel, we secure your LEI in 5 working days.

Benefits of LEI Registration for Your Business

  • Global Identity: Required for participation in cross-border or large-value financial transactions.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Mandatory for stock market, forex, and derivatives participants.
  • Risk Mitigation: Enables better credit risk assessment and fraud prevention.
  • Transparency: Enhances visibility of corporate structures in global databases.
  • Efficiency: Simplifies record-keeping and entity verification processes across institutions.

What Does an LEI Code Look Like?

An LEI is made up of 20 alphanumeric characters:

  • Characters 1–4: Issuing Local Operating Unit (LOU)
  • Characters 5–6: Always ‘00’
  • Characters 7–18: Unique Entity Identifier
  • Characters 19–20: Check digits for validation
