Common Questions About NIC 476102
Does NIC 476102 apply to wholesale, retail or manufacturing?

Compare 476101 Retail sale of books of all kinds, 476103 Retail sale of stationery and office supplies such as pens, pencils, paper and other similar items (excluding retail sale of art supplies) before deciding whether the activity is wholesale, retail or a more specialized trade category.

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 476102?
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 476102
NIC 476102 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.
