KBLI 2025 Corrections and OSS Conversion Now Apply

BPS Regulation 6/2026 supplies the amended KBLI 2025 attachment, while OSS now requires KBLI 2025 for new, changed, expanded, updated, or renewed business licences and provides a conversion workflow for existing activities.

Published
Enacted on 4 September and promulgated on 10 September 2026 in State Bulletin 2026 No. 624.

Who is affected

All businesses and advisers using KBLI 2025, especially PT PMA companies, foreign directors and shareholders, notaries, OSS and licensing teams, electric-battery and electric-vehicle-battery manufacturers, tourism-area managers, and Bali property or tourism developers whose projects combine area management with hospitality, real-estate, construction, or tenant activities.

Practical impact

BPS Regulation 6/2026 replaces the full attachment to BPS Regulation 7/2025 and identifies principal description changes for codes 27201, 27203, and 68122. OSS has now implemented KBLI 2025 for new, changed, expanded, updated, or renewed business-licensing applications and PB-UMKU. Its official conversion tool contains 997 mappings from KBLI 2020: one-to-one and many-to-one mappings may convert automatically, while one-to-many mappings require the business to select the correct KBLI 2025 code and scope. Businesses still registered under KBLI 2009 or 2017 must first adjust their corporate purpose through a notary and AHU Online. The OSS guide is an implementation reference, not a new legal decision, and it does not announce blanket cancellation of existing NIBs or a universal migration deadline.

Late discovery: BPS Regulation 6/2026 was enacted on 4 September, promulgated in State Bulletin 2026 No. 624 on 10 September, and took effect on the promulgation date. The official BPS listing became available after promulgation, but the development remains actionable because the amended KBLI descriptions already govern current classification and licensing analysis.

The regulation replaces the attachment to BPS Regulation 7/2025 rather than publishing a short standalone correction table. BPS explains that the amendment improves the substance of KBLI descriptions for statistical quality and identifies three principal title and description changes: codes 27201 and 27203 for electric and electric-vehicle batteries, and code 68122 for tourism-area management. Saved copies of the original attachment or old conversion tables should therefore not be treated as the current authority.

The practical consequence is prospective and compliance-focused. New NIB applications, additions of business activities, and amendments should use the amended attachment and current OSS descriptions. The regulation does not say that all existing NIBs are invalid, automatically change a company's registered codes, or require every business to refile by a fixed date. Existing businesses should instead review whether the selected code still accurately describes the activity and correct a material mismatch through the appropriate corporate and licensing process.

Implementation update: OSS now publishes a live KBLI 2020 to KBLI 2025 conversion tool with 997 mappings and an official workflow for existing business activities. The guide states that KBLI 2025 is the primary reference for new, changed, expanded, updated, or renewed licensing applications and PB-UMKU. Existing projects can open the conversion form in OSS. One-to-one and many-to-one mappings may be converted automatically, but a one-to-many mapping requires the business to choose the KBLI 2025 code and scope that match its actual activity.

The workflow differs for older registrations. A business still using KBLI 2009 or 2017 must first adjust its corporate purpose through a notary and AHU Online, then verify the updated company data in OSS through Perizinan Berusaha, Kelola Usaha, and Perubahan Badan Usaha. A business already using KBLI 2020 should verify its AHU-sourced data in the same menu before conversion. The official guide describes how OSS implements the conversion, but expressly treats the information as a reference rather than a legal decision.

For code 68122, the current OSS description covers management of a tourism area, including land management, division into tourism nodes or areas, development or leasing of units for tourism facilities and infrastructure, oversight of tourism-business construction, and provision of administrative places within the area. It should not be used as a blanket substitute for the separate classifications and licences required to operate a hotel, villa, restaurant, attraction, real-estate, construction, or other tenant business. Bali projects must also continue to satisfy the parcel's RTRW or RDTR zoning, land-use, environmental, building, and sector requirements.

PT PMA companies should document the classification review across the deed, AHU data, OSS NIB, investment plan, sector approvals, location, and actual revenue activities. A discrepancy should be resolved before an amendment, financing, acquisition, new investment, or inspection. Because the amendment itself creates no special penalty or migration deadline, the immediate risk is not a new standalone fine but using the wrong regulatory pathway based on an obsolete description.

Required action

  • Search each current KBLI 2020 code in the official OSS conversion tool, record whether the mapping is unchanged, changed, split, merged, or reorganized, and compare the resulting KBLI 2025 scope with the actual activity.
  • For a one-to-many result, select the KBLI 2025 code that accurately matches the activity instead of accepting a convenient code; review the resulting risk level, business-licensing requirements, PB-UMKU, and spatial or sector conditions before submission.
  • If the company still uses KBLI 2009 or 2017, coordinate the necessary deed and corporate-purpose amendment through a notary and AHU Online before changing the business entity data in OSS.
  • If the company uses KBLI 2020, verify the AHU-sourced company data in OSS under Perizinan Berusaha, Kelola Usaha, and Perubahan Badan Usaha before starting the conversion or a licensing filing.
  • Complete and retain the conversion record before applying for a new activity, change, expansion, update, renewal, or PB-UMKU, and resolve any OSS notification or data mismatch that blocks submission.
  • If the business uses or is considering codes 27201, 27203, or 68122, compare the amended title and description with the deed, NIB, risk-based standards, sector licences, and investment plan before filing or signing a transaction.
  • For Bali tourism-area projects, distinguish management of the tourism area from the separate operation of hotels, villas, restaurants, attractions, real-estate sales or leasing, construction, and other tenant activities, and licence each actual revenue activity under the appropriate code.
