How To Choose
When to Choose 990000 Over Nearby Codes
Do not use 990000 for a private Indian supplier that sells goods or services to an embassy or international organization. The supplier should use the trade, manufacturing or service code matching its own revenue activity.
Common Questions About NIC 990000
Do Indian branch offices of international organizations use code 990000?
Yes, when the entity operates under diplomatic or extraterritorial status and its primary activity is institutional or governance work rather than commercial trade.
Can a private company that supplies goods to UN offices use 990000?
No. The supplier should classify its own activity under the relevant trade, service or manufacturing Division. Code 990000 applies to the extraterritorial entity itself.
How do I verify that NIC 990000 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 990000?
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 990000
NIC 990000 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.
