Common Questions About NIC 562999
Does NIC 562999 cover lodging, food service or both?
Accommodation and food service are separate Division families. Use lodging codes for paid stay services and food service codes for restaurants, catering, cafes, canteens, cloud kitchens or takeaway operations.
Can a hotel restaurant use the same NIC code as the hotel?
If lodging is the main revenue activity, the accommodation code is usually primary. If the restaurant is operated as a separate business line, compare the food and beverage service Sub-classes.
How do I verify that NIC 562999 is correct before filing?
Check the parent hierarchy, compare 562901 Activities of food service contractors such as food service contractors for transportation companies like airways, 562902 Operation of canteens or cafeteria in a premises (premises such as factories, offices, hospitals or schools) on a concession basis, 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 562999?
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 562999
NIC 562999 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.
