What is the NIC Code?
NIC Code stands for National Industrial Classification Codeis a unique numeric identifier assigned to businesses in India. It is a system developed by the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) of India to categorize and classify various business activities. Each unique activity is assigned a specific code, enabling the government and businesses to track, analyze, and manage information about different sectors of the economy.
The NIC code is essential when you're registering your business under government schemes like Udyam - MSME or applying for licences and approvals. It ensures that your company is grouped under the correct category, which is especially helpful for taxation, data collection, and policy-making purposes.
On 26th June 2014, the Department of Policy & Promotion in their Press Note 4 (2014 series) decided to switch over to NIC 2008 from NIC 1987 Version. Since then, all Indian companies have been advised to follow NIC-2008. NIC 2008 is more compatible & well-suited for the International System of Classification, and this enables the compliance processes for Registration to follow smoothly.
Types of NIC Codes
In India, NIC codes are categorised based on the nature of economic activities. The codes follow a hierarchical structure from broad sectors down to specific activities.
- 2-Digit NIC Code: Broad industry classification (e.g., ’56’ for Food and Beverage and Manufacturing, Service Activities).
- 3-Digit NIC Code: Narrows down to subsectors within the main category (e.g., ’561’ for Restaurants and Mobile Food Service Activities).
- 4-Digit NIC Code: Refines the classification to more specific industries (e.g., ’5610’ for Restaurants and Mobile Food Services).
- 5-Digit NIC Code: Offers the most detailed level, describing exact business activities (e.g., ’56101’ for restaurants without bars).
When registering for MSME under Udyam, it’s important to select the correct NIC code for MSME from the official Udyam NIC code list. For service-based businesses, refer to the NIC code list for services to ensure accurate classification. You can easily find the right category using a NIC code search tool or explore the complete NIC code list provided by the government.

Where is the NIC Code Used?
The NIC code plays a crucial role in various government and business processes in India. Here’s where it’s commonly used:
- MSME (Udyam) Registration: Businesses must select the correct NIC code for MSME registration on the Udyam portal, which is essential for availing government benefits and subsidies.
- Company Incorporation: During company registration with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), the business activity must be classified using the NIC code list.
- GST Registration: Choosing the appropriate NIC code helps categorise the business correctly for Goods and Services Tax (GST) compliance.
- Import Export Code (IEC): Businesses applying for IEC need to specify their NIC code to define their trade activities.
- Statistical & Economic Data Collection: The government uses NIC code search and classifications to track industrial growth, plan policies, and analyse market trends.
If you’re in the service sector, selecting the right code from the NIC code list for services ensures proper classification and compliance.
Characteristics of the NIC Code
The NIC code is more than just a number, it’s a standardised way to classify businesses in India. Here are its key characteristics:
- Structured Format: The NIC code follows a hierarchical structure, ranging from 2 to 5 digits, allowing detailed classification of business activities.
- Activity-Based: It classifies businesses based on their primary economic activity, whether it’s manufacturing, trade, or services.
- Government-Recognised: Issued and maintained by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), the NIC code list is an official standard.
- Essential for Compliance: It’s used across registrations like MSME (Udyam), GST, company incorporation, and more.
- Universal Classification: The same NIC code list for services, manufacturing, and other sectors is used nationwide, ensuring consistency in classification.
Using a NIC code search tool helps you easily find the correct code. For MSMEs, selecting the right NIC code for MSMEs from the Udyam NIC code list ensures hassle-free registration and access to government schemes.
Categories of the NIC Code
All activities are organized into different levels called “activity groups” or “tabulation categories” in a step-by-step hierarchy. Here’s how it works:
- Structured Format: The NIC code follows a hierarchical structure, ranging from 2 to 5 digits, allowing detailed classification of business activities.
- Activity-Based: It classifies businesses based on their primary economic activity, whether it’s manufacturing, trade, or services.
- Government-Recognised: Issued and maintained by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), the NIC code list is an official standard.
- Essential for Compliance: It’s used across registrations like MSME (Udyam), GST, company incorporation, and more.
- Universal Classification: The same NIC code list for services, manufacturing, and other sectors is used nationwide, ensuring consistency in classification.
This hierarchical structure helps in systematically categorizing all activities. The layout is shown below.
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Section C | Manufacturing |
| Division 13 | Manufacture of textiles |
| Group 131 | Spinning, weaving, and finishing of textiles |
| Class 1311 | Preparation and spinning of textile fibres |
| Sub-Class 13111 | Preparation and spinning of cotton fibre, including blended cotton |
- Industry-Wide Classification Covers all sectors, from manufacturing and services to agriculture and trade.
- Unique Identification Each NIC Code consists of digits (2 to 5 digits or more) that drill down to the specific activity. For example, NIC-2008 Code 56101 is for “Restaurants without bars.”
- Evolving Updates Revised periodically (like NIC 1998, NIC 2004, NIC 2008) to include emerging industries or modify existing classifications.
- Regulatory Compliance Mandatory in various legal forms, such as company incorporation, GST registration, Udyam (MSME) registration, etc.
- Hierarchical Structure Organized into sections, divisions, groups, and classes for a clear hierarchy of industry segments.
Benefits of Having the Correct NIC Code
Having the right NIC code offers multiple advantages for businesses in India. Here’s why it matters:
- Simplifies MSME (Udyam) Registration Selecting the correct code from the Udyam NIC code list makes the registration process faster and more efficient.
- Ensures Compliance with Licences and Taxes Using the right NIC code for MSME, services, or manufacturing helps you avoid errors in GST registration and other legal procedures.
- Unlocks Government Schemes and Subsidies Many government benefits are industry-specific. A valid NIC code ensures your eligibility for relevant support.
- Supports Accurate Business Classification Referencing the official NIC code list for services or manufacturing helps authorities group your business correctly.
- Improves Official Reporting and Documentation Government departments rely on NIC code search data for policy-making, so correct classification keeps your records consistent.
- Builds Business Credibility Having the appropriate NIC code demonstrates professionalism and can boost trust with clients, partners, and regulators.
Choosing the correct NIC code is not just a formality; it’s a strategic step that ensures compliance, unlocks growth opportunities, and positions your business for long-term success.
How to Obtain NIC Code – Step-by-Step Guide

- Identify Your Business Activity
Start by clearly defining your core activity, whether it’s manufacturing, trading, or services. This step is crucial to determine the right classification under the NIC code list.
- Search the NIC Code
Use a reliable NIC code search tool or refer to the official NIC code list (NIC 2008). For example, a software consultancy firm would use NIC code 62011 (related to writing and testing computer programs). If you’re looking for service-based categories, check the NIC code list for services.

During the application process, you’ll need to select your NIC code from a dropdown or predefined list.
- Select and Fill the Correct NIC Code
