NIC Code for a Construction LLP

For a building-construction LLP the principal NIC-2008 code in Form FiLLiP is 41001 — “Construction of buildings carried out on own-account basis or on a fee or contract basis.” Roads and infrastructure sit in Division 42.

Updated 09 September 2026 Ahmedabad, Gujarat

41001 covers residential, commercial and industrial building construction, whether the LLP builds to sell or builds on contract. Infrastructure splits by type: roads, bridges and tunnels 42101; power plants and transmission 42201; water and irrigation 42204; other civil-engineering projects 42909.

Specialised trades are Division 43 — electrical installation 43211, plumbing 43221, interior fit-out and finishing 43309, waterproofing and structural erection 43900.

Two common mix-ups: a developer who mainly holds and rents property is 68100, not 41001; and structural-steel or pre-engineered-building fabrication is manufacturing (25112), not construction. Object clause: “construction, development and erection of buildings on own account or on a contract basis.”

Before you file

The proposed LLP name and the LLP Agreement main‑object clause must both be consistent with the NIC activity and description — FiLLiP is reviewed manually and a mismatch is a standard resubmission reason.
You may list up to three NIC‑2008 five‑digit sub‑classes; mark one as primary. The MCA V3 form auto‑fills the parent two‑digit division.
Use NIC‑2008, not NIC‑2025 — MCA has not adopted NIC‑2025 as of 2026.
If the result carries a regulator flag (RBI / SEBI / IRDAI / a profession council), attach the in‑principle approval to FiLLiP.
