National Industrial Classification: NIC Code For Manufacturing

The National Industrial Classification Code ('NIC Code') is a statistical standard that provides for the creation and maintenance of a comparable database for different economic activities. In order to determine and evaluate how each economic activity contributes to national wealth, this code has been created.

National Industrial Classification Code: NIC Code 2008

National Industrial Classification 2008 (NIC-2008) is the updated version of NIC-2004. In its Press Note 4 (2014 series), dated 26 June 2014, the Department of Policy and Promotion agreed to move from the NIC 1987 edition to the NIC 2008. Every Indian Company is advised to follow NIC 2008 since then.

NIC 2008 is more compatible with the international system of classification. This enables the compliance processes for registration to flow in a smooth manner.

The revised NIC-2008 provides a more contemporary industrial classification system. Activities of the enterprises are first grouped into 'Sections' alphabetically coded from A to U, each section is divided into 'Division' with two (2) digit numerical code, each division into 'Group with three (3) digit numerical code, each group into 'class' with 4-digit numerical code and each 4-digit class into 5-digit 'subclass.'
