NIC 016103 - Renting of agricultural machinery with operators and crew

Agriculture Sub-classes normally classify the growing, rearing, forestry or fishery activity itself. Wholesale, retail, storage, processing or export of the same output should be checked under trade, logistics or manufacturing Divisions.

Compare the dominant revenue activity with 016101 Agricultural activities on a fee or contract basis (preparation of fields, establishing a crop, treatment of crops, crop spraying, trimming of fruit trees and vines, transplanting of rice, thinning of beets, harvesting, pest control in connection with agriculture etc.), 016102 Operation of agriculture irrigation equipment, 016199 Support activities for crop production n.e.c. Use the code for the crop, animal, forestry or fishery activity that contributes the largest share of business income.

Check the parent hierarchy, compare 016101 Agricultural activities on a fee or contract basis (preparation of fields, establishing a crop, treatment of crops, crop spraying, trimming of fruit trees and vines, transplanting of rice, thinning of beets, harvesting, pest control in connection with agriculture etc.), 016102 Operation of agriculture irrigation equipment, 016199 Support activities for crop production n.e.c, 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.

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.

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.
