Subject:- Allocation of specific economic activity based upon the main object clause of a company while allocating Corporate Identity Number (CIN) instead of entering the code “00000”.
Sir,
In continuation of this Department’s General Circular No.12/2000 (issued vide letter No.1/6/2000-CL.V) dated 25th October, 2000, I am directed to say that the step 2 for implementation of Corporate Identity Number (CIN) provides that in a case if a company is operating in diverse fields, the economic activity as “00000” has to be assigned.
2. Some difficulties may be faced while implementing of Corporate Identity Number (CIN) while doing industry-wise analysis in case of company operating in diverse fields is shown as having economic activity “00000”. You are, therefore, requested that instead of entering the code “00000” as economic activity of a company, a specific economic activity of the company based upon the main object clause in the company’s Memorandum of Association [item 1 of the Object Clause (III A)] be entered in the second five digits representing the economic activity of the company.
Yours faithfully,
( S.P. Dixit )
