BSE vide notice dated 05 May 2023 has clarified Introduction of Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) for issuers who have listed and/ or propose to list non-convertible securities, securitized debt instruments and security receipts.
LEI is a unique global identifier for legal entities participating in financial transactions. LEI is designed to create a global reference data system that uniquely identifies every legal entity, in any jurisdiction, that is party to a financial transaction. It is a unique 20-character code to identify legally distinct entities that engage in financial transactions. Presently, RBI directions, inter alia, mandate non-individual borrowers having aggregate exposure of above Rs. 25 crores, to obtain LEI code.
