NIC 104008 is the final six-digit endpoint for Manufacture of compound cooking fats such as bakery shortening, blends/ melanges, lard compounds and similar spreads. It should be selected only when the enterprise's primary manufacturing activity matches this title more closely than 104001 Manufacture of hydrogenated oil and vanaspati ghee including margarine and similar products, 104002 Manufacture of cold-pressed vegetable oils (kachhi ghaani), 104003 Manufacture of other vegetable oils and fats (excluding corn oil and cold-pressed vegetable oils).
Choose 104008 only when operations, invoices and revenue narrative align with Manufacture of compound cooking fats such as bakery shortening, blends/ melanges, lard compounds and similar spreads. If the activity also includes 104001 Manufacture of hydrogenated oil and vanaspati ghee including margarine and similar products, 104002 Manufacture of cold-pressed vegetable oils (kachhi ghaani), 104003 Manufacture of other vegetable oils and fats (excluding corn oil and cold-pressed vegetable oils), compare those pages before filing.
Manufacturing codes apply when the business transforms inputs into a new product through mechanical, chemical, manual or industrial processes. Pure buying and resale should be checked under wholesale or retail trade.
Choose the Sub-class that best matches the main product line by revenue or production value. If multiple product lines are material, compare 104001 Manufacture of hydrogenated oil and vanaspati ghee including margarine and similar products, 104002 Manufacture of cold-pressed vegetable oils (kachhi ghaani), 104003 Manufacture of other vegetable oils and fats (excluding corn oil and cold-pressed vegetable oils) and document the primary activity before filing.

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.
NIC 104008 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.
