Intermediation in buying, selling and rental of real estate through broker-client interactions.
Use this mapping when the business earns brokerage or agency fees, not when it owns and rents property.
A real estate agent or brokerage business that earns a fee or commission by bringing buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants together should examine NIC 682100 under NIC 2025. The code is aimed at intermediation in buying, selling and rental of real estate through broker-client interaction. The key idea is intermediation: the agent facilitates a transaction involving property that belongs to another party.
Ask what the client pays for. If the enterprise earns brokerage, commission or a contracted fee for finding a buyer, tenant, seller or property owner, the activity is different from owning property and earning rent from it. Independent brokers, estate agencies and teams handling residential or commercial transactions can therefore fall within the same intermediation concept even when their market segments differ.
NIC 682902 covers management of real estate such as property management or jointly owned dwellings, usually on a fee or contract basis. NIC 682901 concerns valuation and appraisal. A brokerage firm may offer both agency and management, but those are economically different services. If both generate material revenue, using separate activity codes produces a more accurate enterprise profile.
“Real estate agency providing brokerage for purchase, sale and rental transactions” is stronger than simply writing “property business”. The property can be a flat, office, shop, warehouse or land parcel; what determines this NIC match is the intermediary role. The wording should also reflect whether the firm works mainly with sales, rentals or both.
If the company primarily owns buildings and leases them on its own account, the business is not merely acting as an intermediary. If it mainly manages maintenance, tenant operations and common-property administration for owners, property management is closer. If the paid deliverable is a valuation report, appraisal is the relevant activity to compare. Classification becomes clearer when each revenue stream is mapped to the service actually delivered.
For a conventional real estate broker or estate agency whose main income is transaction commission, 682100 is the principal NIC 2025 code to investigate. Additional substantial services should be coded separately where the registration permits more than one NIC activity.

Use this page as a shortlist and then verify the final code against the linked official NIC page. NIC describes the economic activity. It does not issue a licence, replace GST/HSN/SAC classification, or guarantee approval in Udyam, MCA or any regulated filing.
Choose the NIC code that matches the principal activity, usually the activity that generates the largest share of revenue or best describes the entity being registered.
