Many businesses have multiple business activities. A company may manufacture products, sell them online, provide installation services and offer after-sales support. A technology business may develop software, provide IT consulting and also offer training. A food business may manufacture packaged food and sell it through its own retail outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When one business carries out several activities, an important question comes up: Which NIC code<\/a> should you choose for your business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Businesses with multiple business activities should choose multiple NIC codes. The important part is choosing NIC codes that correctly describe what your business actually does. Let’s understand which NIC code you should choose for your business and how to select NIC code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n NIC <\/strong>stands for National Industrial Classification. It is a system used by the Government of India to classify businesses and economic activities. The classification helps identify the type of activity carried out by an enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n NIC-2008 is the National Industrial Classification system issued by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI). MoSPI<\/a> provides an official NIC-2008 Code Finder for checking the appropriate activity code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes. This is especially important for businesses that provide more than one product or service. The Udyam Registration portal clearly says that one enterprise can specify or add any number of activities, including manufacturing and services, in one Udyam Registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, suppose ABC Enterprises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The business has multiple activities. It can identify the relevant NIC codes for these activities instead of trying to force everything into one broad code. Important thing is to make sure each selected code matches a genuine activity of the enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a business has several activities, it is useful to identify its main or principal activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, a company mainly manufactures packaged food but also sells those products through its own retail outlet. Manufacturing may be the core activity, and retail is an additional activity. The exact classification should always be checked against the official NIC description.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Is an NIC Code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
