Frequently asked questions
What does Section L cover in NIC-2008?

Do I register a business using a section letter?
No. Registrations such as Udyam, GST and company incorporation use the numeric NIC code (4, 5 or 6 digits), not the section letter. The section only tells you which part of the classification to explore. Open a division below to reach the specific code for your activity.
How do I find the exact NIC code inside Section L?
