Common Questions About NIC 522202
Does NIC 522202 cover transport itself or logistics support?
Transport codes apply when the business carries passengers or freight. Warehousing, freight forwarding, cargo handling and support activities may sit under different logistics support codes.
What if the business stores goods and also moves them?
Choose the code matching the dominant paid service. A transporter, warehouse operator and freight forwarder can belong to different Sub-classes even when they serve the same supply chain.
How do I verify that NIC 522202 is correct before filing?
Check the parent hierarchy, compare 522201 Operation of terminal facilities such as harbours and piers, 522203 Hydrographic surveys, vessel traffic services (VTS), and lighthouse operations, 522299 Other service activities incidental to water transportation 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.
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 522202?
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 522202
NIC 522202 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.
