Official note

Class note from the source layer

This class includes the intermediation of buying, selling and rental of real estate by bringing clients and sellers or service providers together for a fee or commission. These intermediation 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 client or the seller of the real estate or the provider of the real estate service. Revenue for the intermediation activities can include other sources of income, such as revenues from selling advertising space to third parties. This class includes the provision of real estate activities by real estate agencies or independent real estate agents. This class excludes: - legal activities, see 6910 - activities of real estate escrow agents, see 6829

Common Questions About NIC 6821

Which businesses fall under NIC 6821?

Start here when the business belongs to intermediation service activities for real estate and then compare child entries such as undefined undefined.

Is NIC 6821 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 6821 is correct before filing?

Check the parent hierarchy, compare 6829 Other real estate activities on a fee or contract basis, 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 6821?

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 6821 to the right Sub-class

NIC 6821 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.
