NIC Code For Udyam Registration Online

The National Industrial Classification (NIC) Code 2008 is a standardized system used in India to categorize and classify various economic activities. Designed to align with international classification standards, NIC 2008 ensures smoother compliance and easier registration processes, especially for MSMEs registering under Udyam Registration.

This classification system plays a crucial role in building a comparable and reliable database of economic activities across sectors. It helps the government and other authorities evaluate the contribution of each sector to the nation's economic growth.

The revised NIC 2008 offers a more updated and structured classification method. Here's how it is organized:

Sections: Broad categories, labeled alphabetically from A to U
Divisions: Each section is divided into 2-digit numeric codes
Groups: Divisions are further broken into 3-digit codes
Classes: Groups are split into 4-digit codes
Subclasses: The most detailed level, coded with 5 digits

This layered structure makes it easier for businesses to identify and classify their specific activities, ensuring accuracy during registration and improved access to relevant schemes and support.
