NIC Code for a Real Estate LLP

For a real-estate LLP the principal NIC-2008 code in Form FiLLiP is 68100 — “Real estate activities with own or leased property” if you own, lease and deal in property, or 68200 if you work on commission as an agent or broker.

Updated 09 September 2026 Ahmedabad, Gujarat

68100 is buying, selling, renting and operating your own or leased real estate. 68200 is agents, brokers and property managers acting for a fee. A developer who builds and sells is usually 41001 (construction of buildings), with 68100 as a secondary activity.

FDI is the decisive caveat. “Real estate business” — dealing in land, earning rent, trading in transferable development rights — is prohibited for a foreign-funded LLP. Construction-development of townships and housing is a separate, FDI-permitted activity. So a real-estate LLP with any foreign investment effectively has to be a developer (41001), not a landlord (68100).

Match the object clause to the code you pick — 68100 vs 68200 vs 41001 — because a name-versus-activity mismatch here is a common resubmission reason. RERA registration is a separate approval.

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.

FAQ

What is the NIC code for a real estate broker or agent?

Real-estate activities on a fee or commission basis — brokers, agents, property managers — are 68200, not 68100.

What is the NIC code for a property developer?

A developer who constructs and sells is usually 41001 (construction of buildings). 68100 (holding, leasing and dealing in own property) is listed as a secondary activity where the LLP will also hold stock or land.

Can a foreign-owned LLP do real estate?

Not as a "real estate business" (dealing in land, earning rent). That is barred for a foreign-funded LLP. Construction-development of townships and housing projects is permitted, so a foreign-funded real-estate LLP has to be structured as a developer.
