Practical Summary
What Mining of uranium and thorium ores Means Under NIC 2025
NIC 072100 is the final six-digit endpoint for Mining of uranium and thorium ores. It should be selected only when the enterprise's primary resource extraction activity matches this title more closely than nearby sibling codes in the same parent category.
How To Choose
When to Choose 072100 Over Nearby Codes
Choose 072100 only when operations, invoices and revenue narrative align with Mining of uranium and thorium ores. If the activity also includes nearby sibling codes in the same parent category, compare those pages before filing.
Common Questions About NIC 072100
Does NIC 072100 apply to extraction or only mining support work?
Use the mining or quarrying Sub-class only when the enterprise performs the extraction activity itself. Exploration, drilling, site preparation or contractor support may belong under mining support service codes instead.
Should mineral trading use NIC 072100?
No. Selling coal, ore, stone, sand or fuel without extracting it is usually a wholesale or retail trade activity. Section B is for extraction and directly related mining operations.
How do I verify that NIC 072100 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 072100?
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
Before you select NIC 072100
NIC 072100 should be selected only when the official title matches the main revenue-generating activity. If the business also trades, transports, processes, installs or supports the same product or service, compare nearby NIC pages before filing. This reduces the risk of choosing a code that describes the product being handled rather than the activity your enterprise actually performs.
