1. New LEI, LEI renewal and LEI transfer process

1.1. To apply for a new LEI code, renew an existing LEI code, or transfer an LEI code under LEI Register India’s management, the applicant needs to fill in the relevant application form, submit their data and pay for the service by Netbanking, Bank transfer, Credit Card or Razorpay. 

1.2. The applicant agrees that while submitting the form, they accept the terms and conditions of LEI Register India. The applicant confirms that the data submitted is correct and they have full authority to apply for an LEI code on behalf of the legal entity (customer). The applicant knows their contact details can be shared with the Local Operating Unit (LOU). 

1.3. The applicant is aware and agrees to give all rights to LEI Register India to sign the terms and conditions of the selected LOU on their behalf. For example, the terms of service of RapidLEI can be found here. The terms of service among LOUs are very similar as they all follow the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation’s (GLEIF) guidelines.  

1.4. The applicant gives all rights to LEI Register India to manage the LEI of the legal entity on their behalf. For example, a new LEI applicant gives all rights to LEI Register India to apply for an LEI code on the legal entity’s behalf. An LEI renewal applicant gives all rights to LEI Register India to renew an LEI on the legal entity’s behalf. An LEI transfer applicant gives all rights to LEI Register India to transfer their LEI under LEI Register India’s management. 

1.5. An LEI transfer applicant is aware that an LEI transfer entails/may entail a change of LOU. If an LEI renewal applicant applies to renew an LEI code with LEI Register India that is not under their management, the LEI needs to be transferred under LEI Register India's management. The LEI can be transferred before renewing the LEI or during the LEI renewal process. LEI Register India cannot renew an LEI code that is not under their management. 

1.6. An LEI that is managed by LEI Register India can be renewed a maximum of 60 days before it expires. However, if the customer transfers and renews an LEI that is managed by a service provider that is different to LEI Register India and the “next renewal date” of the LEI is further than 60 days, days from the renewal period of the LEI may be lost.

1.7. LEI Register India will start with the LEI registration, renewal and/or transfer process shortly after they have received the application and confirmation of the payment. 

1.8. The applicant is aware that they may be contacted to provide a Letter of Authorization (Power of Attorney) or any other proof that shows they are authorized to apply for an LEI on behalf of the legal entity. 

1.8.1. The applicant is aware that only the designated signatories can sign the Letter of Authorization under their respective identities. Impersonating an authorized signatory is prohibited, constituting identity fraud.

1.9. The applicant is aware that they may be contacted to provide additional documents. For example, LEI Register India may ask for documents that prove the registration of the legal entity, documents that show who the authorized representatives of the legal entity are, documents that show the creation date of the legal entity or documents that show when amendments to the legal entity data were made.

1.10. The applicant is aware that if the legal entity has a direct and/or ultimate parent company that owns controlling shares (typically >50%) and consolidates the accounts of the child company, they are required to report Parental (Level 2) data. If the legal entity does not have any parent companies or cannot report them, it will be necessary to indicate a reason for not providing Parental (Level 2) data by choosing a reporting exception. 

1.10.1.  LEI Register India can contact the applicant to provide additional documents to verify consolidation.

1.11. The applicant is aware that if the legal entity is an international branch, they are required to report the head office’s LEI code. If they do not provide the head office’s LEI code, LEI Register India cannot proceed with the LEI application. The head office's LEI code must be in an ISSUED status.

1.12. The applicant is aware that if the legal entity is a fund, LEI Register India may request information on fund relationships (fund management entity, umbrella fund of a sub-fund and/or master fund of a feeder fund).

1.12.1. LEI Register India can contact the applicant to provide additional documents to verify the fund relationship(s).

1.12.2. To report a relationship, an LEI is required from the fund management entity, umbrella fund, and master fund.

1.13. The applicant is aware that they agree to receive promotional calls on the number provided once they have submitted the application. These calls and SMS messages may originate from a third-party platform.

1.14. The LEI code will be provided as soon as possible. In 90% of cases, new LEI codes are issued within 1-24 hours. Validating parental and fund relationship data can take up to 48 hours. LEI renewals and transfers can take up to 7 days. If there are issues with data validation, or in rare cases, the processing times can be longer than usual. 

1.15. Once the process has been completed, the applicant will receive a confirmation email with the invoice sent to the contact email provided in the LEI application. 

1.16. The applicant is aware and agrees that once they have submitted the application and accepted the terms and conditions, the application is considered to be final. Once LEI Register India has received the transfer application, it cannot be revoked. Once LEI Register India has received confirmation of payment for a new LEI, LEI renewal, or renewal and transfer application, the application cannot be revoked. If the applicant has provided enough information to process the LEI application, the process cannot be stopped, and the LEI will be issued. 

1.17. The applicant is aware that if they fail to provide any information they are requested, including all of the information requests mentioned above, LEI Register India and the relevant LOU will make reasonable efforts to complete the LEI application. This may result in setting the Parental (Level 2) details as non-public or in not publishing the fund relationship data. However, in case the LEI cannot be issued, renewed, and/or transferred as a result of the applicant failing to provide the requested information, LEI Register India and the relevant LOU are not responsible for any LEI-related damages. 

1.18. The applicant is aware that once an LEI code has been issued, the LEI and the legal entity’s LEI-related reference data will be published in the GLEIF’s and LEI Register India’s website. Once an LEI has been issued, it cannot be deleted or transferred to a different legal entity. 

1.19. LEI Register India will email the contact email provided 60 days before an LEI needs to be renewed (i.e., 60 days before the paid expiration date). 

2. Multiyear plans and automatic renewals

2.1. For the convenience of customers, LEI Register India offers the opportunity to prepay the renewal fee in advance for up to 5 years.

2.1.2. If the customer has bought the LEI renewal service for multiple years, LEI Register India will cover the renewal cost for the period bought. 

2.1.3. If the customer has ordered a multiyear renewal of their LEI (e.g., a 5-year LEI) from LEI Register India and, during the prepaid period, transfers the LEI to a different service provider, the multiyear contract is automatically canceled.

2.2. Whether the customer has bought the renewal service for multiple years (2-5), the LEI data will be updated annually. Hence, the “next renewal date” in the GLEIF database is usually the time of LEI issuance/last renewal + 365 days, but never more than 425 days in the future. 

2.3. A customer can opt to have their LEI renewed automatically.

2.3.1. If a customer has chosen automatic annual renewal of their LEI, they will be charged 60 days before the end of their contract. The payment will be deducted from the same account provided for the first payment. 

2.3.2. The customer will be notified about the upcoming automatic renewal by email. They will have a 5-day period for submitting changes to their LEI data in case anything needs to be updated or to cancel the automatic renewal of their LEI. After the 5-day period LEI Register India will start the renewal process. Once the renewal process has been completed the customer will receive a confirmation email with the invoice for the renewal service. Once the LEI has been renewed the renewal cannot be reversed.

2.4. LEI Register India has full right to renew the legal entity’s LEI code and update reference data in the GLEIF database through the relevant LOU. 

2.4.1. If the legal entity is registered, LEI Register India and the relevant LOU can update the legal entity’s reference data based on the relevant registry. 

2.4.2. If the legal entity’s data cannot be verified against a registry, LEI Register India and the relevant LOU will reasonably try renewing the LEI using the existing data. This may include setting the Parental (Level 2) data to non-public or not reporting the fund relationship data. 

2.4.3.  The customer agrees to notify LEI Register India in case there has been a change in data that cannot be validated from public registries and to provide the relevant updated information. 

2.4.4. LEI Register India may contact the customer to provide updated information and/or documents (e.g., updated consolidated accounts, a reporting exception, a letter of authorization, proof of authorization, or any other data). 

2.4.5. If the customer fails to provide the requested information and/or documents, the LEI may not be renewed. If, as a result of the customer failing to provide the requested information, the LEI is not renewed, LEI Register India and the relevant LOU are not responsible for any LEI-related damages. If the customer fails to provide the requested information in 60 days LEI Register India, the customer has the right to cancel the contract.
