Three steps from finding your code to a filed registration.
Locate the NIC code that matches your primary business activity. Each entry above links to the full NIC code search if you need sub-codes or related activities.
Log in at udyamregistration.gov.in and enter your NIC code in the "Major Activity" field. Add up to 4 more codes under "Additional Activity" if you run more than one business line.
Your NIC code also appears on your GST registration form. Keep both registrations consistent — mismatches between your Udyam NIC and your GST filing activity description can raise notices during annual reconciliation.
Send us your activity description on WhatsApp — we'll confirm the right 5-digit NIC code for your Udyam, GST, or IEC registration.
For spinning, weaving, or fabric manufacturing in Gujarat, use NIC 13111 — Preparation and spinning of cotton fibre. Surat and Ahmedabad textile MSMEs use this code on Udyam and GST registrations. If you are a garment retailer or tailor, use a retail trade code from the 47xx range instead.
NIC 32111 covers the manufacture of jewellery and precious metal products, including diamond cutting and polishing. This is the code most Surat diamond units declare on Udyam registration, GST, and IEC filings.
You can list up to 5 NIC codes on the Udyam registration portal — 1 primary and 4 additional. List each distinct activity separately. For example, a garment factory that also does embroidery would list 13111 (spinning) and 14301 (Manufacture of other textile articles) as two separate entries.
No. The NIC code is a classification number. The Udyam registration number is the unique 12-digit identity the Udyam portal assigns after you submit your application with your NIC code(s). Both are required for MSME eligibility and for applying to GST-registered buyers.
For a software services company in Ahmedabad, NIC 62013 (Providing software support and maintenance) is the most commonly used classification. Software development companies may also use NIC 62011 or NIC 62012 depending on whether they sell packaged software or provide custom development.
Yes. Log in to the Udyam portal and update your activity details under "Additional Information". There is no fee to change a NIC code, but your GST-registered buyers will see the updated classification, so keep it accurate to avoid mismatches in annual returns.
