LEI RBI Guidelines

The LEI has been required in India since 2017 in order to increase market transparency and identify fraud in the financial transactions. All financial borrowers and lenders in India have been mandated to obtain an LEI. According to the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) the LEI has been introduced in a phased approach for market participants in the over the counter (OTC) derivative and non-derivative markets as also for large corporate borrowers.

The LEI in India has also been introduced for all payments/transactions of value ₹50 crore and above undertaken by organisations/corporates using Reserve Bank-run Centralised Payment Systems viz. Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT).

The RBI states that its members should prepare for the phased rollout of the LEI, in particular those who engage in large value transactions (+₹50 crore) and those who use payment messages such as NEFTS & RTGS. 

RTGS: The LEI shall be reported in the ‘Remittance information’ field.
NEFTS: For outward debit messages, LEI information shall be provided in ‘Sender to Receiver Information’ field.

Companies in India may apply for a Legal Entity Identifier through an agent such as LEI Worldwide.  Existing LEI codes may be transferred to LEI Worldwide for management and maintenance. 

You can find more information from the RBI on their dedicated webpage notification here:
