NIC Group 478 covers Retail sale of motor vehicles, motorcycles and related parts and accessories. It clusters closely related business activities and helps users compare nearby Classes before picking a final NIC code...
Group 478 separates retail sale of motor vehicles, motorcycles and related parts and accessories into Classes such as undefined undefined, undefined undefined, undefined undefined. This is where similar business models start to diverge before final code selection.
Group 478 is useful when a filing team has already chosen the Division and needs to separate nearby operating models before moving to Class pages.
Use Group 478 to remove close but incorrect options. If two Groups look similar, compare child Classes and the actual revenue-generating activity.
Start here when the business belongs to retail sale of motor vehicles, motorcycles and related parts and accessories and then compare child entries such as undefined undefined, undefined undefined, undefined undefined.
No. This is a hierarchy page. Continue to the six-digit Sub-class before using a code in registration or compliance records.
Check the parent hierarchy, compare 471 Non-specialized retail sale, 472 Retail sale of food, beverages and tobacco, 473 Retail sale of automotive fuel, 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.
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.
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 478 is an intermediate hierarchy page, not usually the final code used in a filing. Use it to compare child entries, read the nearby-code context and move toward the most precise six-digit Sub-class. If the child list contains several similar activities, open each candidate page and compare the wording against the business's real operating model.
