How to Select the Right MCA Industrial Activity Code
Selecting the wrong industrial activity code is a common mistake during SPICe+ and FiLLiP filing. Since the code becomes permanent in the CIN for companies, it's critical to choose correctly before submitting the incorporation form.
Step 1: Identify Principal Activity
Identify the main revenue-generating activity your company will undertake. For multi-activity businesses, select the activity expected to contribute the dominant share of revenue in the first 2 financial years.
Step 2: Search the Code
Use the Industrial Activity Code finder above. Search by keyword (e.g. "software", "manufacturing", "consulting") to find matching 2-digit division codes. Review the descriptions to match your business.
Step 3: Business Code (if applicable)
Only fill the Business / Profession Code if income is primarily from a profession (doctor, CA, lawyer) or regulated business (insurance, stockbroking). Leave blank for general trade/manufacturing.
Step 4: Verify Before Submission
Cross-check the selected code in the live SPICe+ form dropdown. For companies: code is permanent in CIN. TAXAJ's CA team verifies and selects the correct code as part of company registration.

MCA Industrial Activity Code for Company & LLP Registration — Complete Guide
The MCA Industrial Activity Code is a mandatory 2-digit classification code required by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs during company incorporation through SPICe+ (INC-32) and LLP registration through FiLLiP. Published by MCA as a customised and simplified version of the National Industrial Classification (NIC) 2008 system developed by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), these codes serve as the standardised identifier for a company's primary business activity in all government databases, regulatory filings, and statistical reports.
One of the most critical aspects of MCA Industrial Activity Code selection is its permanent embedding in the Corporate Identification Number (CIN) for companies. The CIN follows the format: U/L [5-digit activity code] [2-letter state] [year] [company type] [6-digit number]. Once a company is incorporated with a particular activity code, the CIN cannot be amended — making the initial selection a compliance decision with permanent consequences. This is why TAXAJ's CA and CS team carefully evaluates each client's business model before selecting the appropriate code during company registration or LLP registration.
Alongside the Industrial Activity Code, MCA also requires a Business / Profession Code for companies and LLPs whose primary income is from professional services. With 50+ profession-specific codes covering medical practice, engineering, CA firms, legal services, IT companies, insurance agencies, stockbrokers, and builders — this code helps MCA track and regulate sector-specific business activities. TAXAJ's free tool above covers both codes with instant search, mobile-friendly cards, and one-click copy — fixing the most common complaint about existing pages: "not visible on mobile."
