Official note

Class note from the source layer

This class includes intermediation service activities for specialized and non-specialized retail trade that facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers for the ordering and/or delivering of physical goods for a fee or commission, without supplying and taking ownership of the goods that are intermediated. These activities can be carried out on digital platforms or through non-digital channels (face-to-face including door-to-door, phone, mail, etc.). The fee or commission can be received from either the buyers or sellers. Revenue for intermediation service activities for non-specialized retail trade can include other sources of income, such as revenues from advertising. This class excludes: - operation of petrol stations, including commission sale of fuels, see 4730 - activities of intermediaries in the retail sale of second hand goods, see 4774

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 4790 is correct before filing?

Check the parent hierarchy, compare nearby sibling codes in the same parent category, 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 4790?

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.

NIC 2026 guidance

How to move from Class 4790 to the right Sub-class

NIC 4790 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.
