The selection of the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) is the earliest and most crucial step when managing business licensing through the OSS RBA (Online Single Submission Risk-Based Approach) system. Unfortunately, many business owners rush and end up choosing the wrong KBLI code that does not match their actual business operations.

When realizing the error in the business activity code, a fundamental question arises among business owners: can the NIB (Business Identification Number) with the wrong KBLI be changed through data revision, or must the old NIB be cancelled and a new NIB created from scratch?

Can a Wrongly Issued KBLI Be Changed Without Making a New NIB?

The answer is yes, it can be changed and there is no need to create a new NIB. The OSS RBA system is designed with a business data change feature that allows business owners to revise, add, or delete KBLI codes without having to cancel the Business Identification Number that has already been issued.

One NIB basically serves as a single identity for a business entity (whether individual or corporate). As long as the company's basic legality identity does not change, you only need to perform a Business Data Change in the OSS RBA portal to replace or add the correct KBLI code.

Procedure for Changing KBLI Code in the OSS RBA System

The process of updating KBLI data on your OSS account can be done independently with the following flow:

  1. Log in to Your OSS RBA Account: Log in to the official OSS portal using your business entity's access rights (username and password).
  2. Select the Appropriate Menu: If you want to change data, select the "Business Data Change" menu. If you want to add a KBLI, select "Business Activity". If you want to delete a KBLI, select "Cancellation" or "Revocation".
  3. Fill in Risk Parameter Data: Complete the business capital data, project location, production capacity level, and environmental documents (such as SPPL or UKL-UPL) required by the new KBLI.
  4. Reprint the Latest NIB: After the draft changes are approved by the system, the latest NIB and Standard Certificate that include the revised KBLI code can be directly downloaded.

Special Condition: When Does a KBLI Change Require a Change to the Deed of Establishment?

Although the OSS system allows direct KBLI revision, for business owners in the form of legal entities such as PT or CV, you must pay attention to the contents of the Deed of Establishment or the latest Amendment Deed:

  • New KBLI Already Exists in the Deed's Purpose and Objectives: If the new 5-digit KBLI code to be included is already stated in the purpose and objectives clause of the company deed, you can immediately update it in OSS RBA.
  • New KBLI Not Yet in the Company Deed: If the new business field is not yet registered in the deed, you must first perform a Deed Amendment before a Notary to add the KBLI clause. After the Deed Amendment obtains approval from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, then the data update in OSS RBA can be processed.

Impact of Leaving a Wrong KBLI Code on the NIB

Ignoring a KBLI code error on business licensing documents brings various administrative and operational consequences that harm the business:

  • Obstacles in Further Licensing: You will have difficulty managing operational/commercial permits, Standard Certificates, or sectoral licensing from relevant ministries because the KBLI is irrelevant.
  • Problems with Bank Accounts and Taxes: Mismatch in the business field can trigger obstacles when opening a company bank account, managing Taxable Entrepreneur status, or during business profile clarification by the Tax Office.
  • Administrative Sanctions: The government can impose sanctions ranging from written warnings to license freezing if a discrepancy is found between actual activities in the field and the registered KBLI.

FAQ About KBLI Updates in OSS

How long does the KBLI data update process take in OSS RBA?
For KBLI with Low or Medium-Low risk levels, data changes can be issued automatically within minutes after the data is completed. However, for Medium-High or High risk levels, the new license will only be effective after verification by the relevant technical department/ministry.

Can one NIB have more than one KBLI code?
Yes. One NIB can accommodate several KBLI codes at once as long as all these business activities are carried out by the same business entity and are stated in the deed of establishment.
