RBI Mandate - Introduction of Legal Entity Identifier for OTC derivatives markets

The Reserve Bank of India has mandated the implementation of the LEI system for all participants in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) markets for Rupee Interest Rate derivatives, foreign currency derivatives and credit derivatives in India, in a phased manner. Entities without an LEI code would not be eligible to participate in the OTC derivative markets, after the date specified in the schedule. Kindly refer to the RBI Notification : "Introduction of Legal Entity Identifier for OTC derivatives markets"
