MSME PORTAL · UDYAM REGISTRATION

Udyam NIC code finder

Udyam asks for five-digit NIC-2008 activity codes. Whether an activity can register comes from Ministry of MSME memoranda, applied here to all 1,295 codes.

81% of activity codes carry full MSME status

  • Eligible: full MSMED Act benefits
  • Trade, NIC 45–47: may register, Priority Sector Lending only

Agriculture: only 11 allied activities

OM UAM/MC/01/2017-SME, 27 June 2017, Table 2

Crop growing, plantations and livestock (division 01) are excluded except post-harvest and allied work. Forestry (02) and fishing (03) are excluded entirely.

Retail and wholesale trade: PSL only

OM 2 July 2021; OM 28 June 2024

Traders (NIC 45, 46, 47, including motor vehicle repair in 45) may register as service enterprises, but only for Priority Sector Lending. They are outside Section 15, so no 45-day payment protection or MSME Samadhaan case.

Households and foreign bodies

OM 27 June 2017, Table 1

Divisions 97 and 98 (households) and 99 (embassies, UN bodies) cannot register. Public administration (84) is not excluded, but a government body is not an MSME.

Size limits from 1 April 2025

The lowest category whose limits are met on both investment and turnover applies. Exports don't count in turnover.

Picking codes on the Udyam form

  • One enterprise files one Udyam registration but can list several NIC codes, mixing manufacturing and services.
  • A trading-only registration gets PSL benefits only. If you also manufacture or provide a service, declare that activity too.
  • Choose at five-digit level. Use an n.e.c. (“not elsewhere classified”) code ending in 9 only when nothing specific fits.
  • Farmers and fishers can't register primary production, but the processing step can, such as 10-series food processing or 01632 cotton ginning.
  • MoSPI has released NIC-2025, but the Udyam portal still links NIC-2008, so these codes stay the reference until the portal changes.
  • Registration is free and Aadhaar-based; the portal warns against agents who charge for it.

Sources:

The Ministry can amend the list by memorandum; confirm borderline cases on the Udyam portal.
