### 1. Clause II of the MOA (Address of Correspondence)
When the correspondence address of a company is different from its registered address, Clause II of the Memorandum of Association (MOA) should address this. Here is how you can draft Clause II for such a scenario:
**Clause II (Registered Office Address):**
```plaintext The Registered Office of the Company will be situated in the State of [Your State].
The correspondence address of the Company is [Correspondence Address], which is different from the Registered Office Address. ```
- **Registered Office Address**: This is where the company’s official records are kept and where the company is legally domiciled. - **Correspondence Address**: This is where the company receives its communications, but it is not necessarily the official registered office.

For a company engaged in manufacturing pharmaceuticals, you will generally refer to the National Industrial Classification (NIC) code, which is used for various industry classifications in India. The NIC code helps in identifying the specific sector in which a company operates.

The NIC code **2100** covers a range of pharmaceutical manufacturing activities, including:
- Manufacture of pharmaceuticals, medicinal chemicals, and botanical products. - Manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products. - Manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations.
**Steps to find the specific NIC code:**
1. **Consult the NIC Code List**: You can refer to the NIC code list provided by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India. 2. **Company's Industry Classification**: Check the company's official filings or annual reports for their NIC code, if available.
For accurate and up-to-date information, it’s advisable to consult the official NIC code documentation or industry-specific databases.
