What Class 2822 Covers
Class 2822 is the final decision layer before six-digit Sub-classes such as 282201 Manufacture of machinery and machine tools for turning, drilling, milling, shaping, planing, boring, grinding, forging and similar processes, including those using a laser beam, ultrasonic waves, plasma arc, magnetic pulse and similar techniques, 282202 Manufacture of electroplating machinery, 282203 Manufacture of parts and accessories for metal forming machinery and machine tools such as work holders, dividing heads, and other special attachments for machine tools., 282204 Manufacture of stamping or pressing machine tools including punch presses, hydraulic presses and hydraulic brakes, drop hammers and 2 more. Compare the child pages before using a code in a filing.
Where Class 2822 Is Used
Class 2822 is used when the final six-digit code is not obvious and official notes or child Sub-classes need to be compared.
- Udyam and MSME code research
- Company or LLP registration preparation
- Business activity shortlisting before filing
- Internal classification and vendor profiling
How to Narrow Down From Class 2822
Review every child Sub-class under Class 2822. If the wording is still broad, open the six-digit child pages before using a code in registration.

Common Questions About NIC 2822
Which businesses fall under NIC 2822?
Start here when the business belongs to manufacture of metal-forming machinery and machine tools and then compare child entries such as 282201 Manufacture of machinery and machine tools for turning, drilling, milling, shaping, planing, boring, grinding, forging and similar processes, including those using a laser beam, ultrasonic waves, plasma arc, magnetic pulse and similar techniques, 282202 Manufacture of electroplating machinery, 282203 Manufacture of parts and accessories for metal forming machinery and machine tools such as work holders, dividing heads, and other special attachments for machine tools., 282204 Manufacture of stamping or pressing machine tools including punch presses, hydraulic presses and hydraulic brakes, drop hammers and 2 more.
Is NIC 2822 a final filing code?
No. This is a hierarchy page. Continue to the six-digit Sub-class before using a code in registration or compliance records.
How do I verify that NIC 2822 is correct before filing?
Check the parent hierarchy, compare 2821 Manufacture of agricultural and forestry machinery, 2823 Manufacture of machinery for metallurgy, 2824 Manufacture of machinery for mining, quarrying and construction, and confirm that the official title matches the main revenue activity. For regulated or filing-critical decisions, verify the source row in the MoSPI dataset.
What happens if I use the wrong NIC code in Udyam or MCA registration?
A wrong code can cause mismatched business descriptions, follow-up questions or later compliance cleanup. It is better to compare nearby codes before filing than to correct a weak classification later.
Is there a legacy NIC 2008 equivalent for NIC 2822?
Use the legacy converter only as a migration aid. Old NIC 2008 matches can suggest where to look, but NIC 2025 should remain the primary reference for new code selection.
How to move from Class 2822 to the right Sub-class
NIC 2822 is an intermediate hierarchy page, not usually the final code used in a filing. Use it to compare child entries, read the nearby-code context and move toward the most precise six-digit Sub-class. If the child list contains several similar activities, open each candidate page and compare the wording against the business's real operating model.
