Common Questions About NIC 901200
Does NIC 901200 cover only visual arts creation activities?
Use this code only when visual arts creation activities is the closest description of the actual business activity. If revenue comes from trading, processing, support services or a different output, compare the relevant sibling or downstream Division.
When should I avoid NIC 901200?
Avoid this code if the business merely supplies, transports, sells or supports this activity without performing the core business activity. In that case, choose the trade, transport, service or manufacturing code that describes what the business actually does.
How do I verify that NIC 901200 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 901200?
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 901200
NIC 901200 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.
