Common Questions About NIC 267

Which businesses fall under NIC 267?

Start here when the business belongs to manufacture of optical instruments and photographic equipment and then compare child entries such as undefined undefined.

Is NIC 267 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 267 is correct before filing?

Check the parent hierarchy, compare 261 Manufacture of electronic components and boards, 262 Manufacture of computers and peripheral equipment, 263 Manufacture of communication equipment, 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 267?

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 Group 267 helps narrow your NIC search

NIC 267 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.
