A Practical Guide for Foreign Entrepreneurs"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you have been searching for a business activity code in Indonesia’s OSS RBA portal and spotted the word “YBDI” attached to a code name without any explanation, you are not alone. The portal does not define it. It just sits there in the code name, looking like part of an untranslated government document.<\/p>\n

YBDI stands for Yang Berhubungan Dengan Itu<\/strong>, which translates to “related thereto”<\/strong> in English. In the context of KBLI (Klasifikasi Baku Lapangan Usaha Indonesia, or Indonesian Standard Business Classification)<\/a>, it signals that a code does not just cover the primary activity named in its title. It also covers other activities that are directly and logically related to that primary activity.<\/p>\n

This guide explains what YBDI means in practice, how it differs from another common abbreviation called YTDL, which KBLI codes commonly use it, and what the implications are when you register a PT (Perseroan Terbatas, a limited liability company) in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

How YBDI Works in the KBLI System<\/h2>\n
\"What
What Does YBDI Mean in Indonesian KBLI Codes?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Indonesia’s KBLI is a 5-digit business classification system developed by the national statistics agency BPS (Badan Pusat Statistik) and aligned with the United Nations’ ISIC international standards. Every business that registers a NIB (Nomor Induk Berusaha, or Business Registration Number)<\/a> through the OSS RBA system must select at least one KBLI code that matches its actual activities.<\/p>\n

The challenge is that a single business often runs multiple related activities that do not all have their own dedicated code. BPS addresses this by appending “YBDI” to certain code names, essentially telling businesses: this code covers not just the activity we named, but also the activities that naturally come with it.<\/p>\n

KBLI 63112, Aktivitas Hosting dan YBDI<\/strong> (Hosting Activities and Related Thereto), is the most common example. It does not cover web hosting alone. Email hosting, streaming infrastructure, application hosting, and related data processing are all included under the same code. For a tech company running several of these services, KBLI 63112 covers everything under one registration. Without the “YBDI” qualifier, a business running email hosting might not know whether this code applied to them at all.<\/p>\n

YBDI vs. YTDL: What Is the Difference?<\/h2>\n

There is another abbreviation you will frequently encounter alongside YBDI: YTDL<\/strong>, short for Yang Tidak Termasuk Dalam Lainnya<\/strong>, which translates to “not included in others”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Both look like catch-all qualifiers, but they work differently:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Abbreviation<\/th>\nIndonesian Meaning<\/th>\nEnglish Translation<\/th>\nHow It Works<\/th>\nCode Example<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
YBDI<\/strong><\/td>\nYang Berhubungan Dengan Itu<\/td>\nRelated thereto<\/td>\nExtends coverage to activities related to<\/em> the primary activity<\/td>\n63112 Hosting Activities and YBDI<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
YTDL<\/strong><\/td>\nYang Tidak Termasuk Dalam Lainnya<\/td>\nNot included in others<\/td>\nCovers activities that do not fit<\/em> any other existing KBLI code<\/td>\n43299 Other Construction Installation YTDL<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

In short: YBDI expands inward, covering related variations of the named activity. YTDL catches anything that falls through the gaps between all existing codes. Some codes use both at once. KBLI 79990 (Other Reservation Services YBDI YTDL) is a good example: it covers travel reservation activities related to the core category (YBDI) while also capturing reservation-type activities that do not fit any other dedicated code (YTDL).<\/p>\n

Common KBLI Codes That Use YBDI<\/h2>\n

YBDI appears across many sectors. Here are a few codes that frequently come up when foreign entrepreneurs register businesses in Indonesia:<\/p>\n

KBLI 63112: Hosting Activities and YBDI<\/h3>\n

Covers hosting infrastructure, data processing services, web hosting, streaming, and application hosting. Relevant for tech startups, SaaS companies, and digital service providers.<\/p>\n

KBLI 71102: Engineering and Related Technical Consulting YBDI<\/h3>\n

Covers engineering design, civil engineering consulting, hydraulic engineering, mechanical systems, and related technical consulting. Used by engineering consultancies and construction advisory firms.<\/p>\n

KBLI 96910: Funeral and Related Activities YBDI<\/h3>\n

Covers funeral services, cremation, body preparation, grave maintenance, and related end-of-life services.<\/p>\n

KBLI 79990: Other Reservation Services YBDI YTDL<\/h3>\n

Covers travel booking services outside of standard travel agencies and tour operators, including transportation, hotel, and event ticket reservations, plus other reservation activities not covered by any similar code.<\/p>\n

The full list of KBLI codes with their official descriptions is available at the BPS official classification portal<\/a> and through the OSS RBA portal at oss.go.id under the “KBLI Risk-Based Information” menu.<\/p>\n

How to Read a KBLI Code That Contains YBDI<\/h2>\n

When you see YBDI in a code name on OSS, resist the temptation to select it based on the name alone. There are two things to check first.<\/p>\n

Read the full description of the code, not just the title.<\/strong> The title is a shorthand. The description below it defines exactly which activities are covered, including what BPS considers “related thereto.” That description is the only reliable way to confirm a code applies to your specific business.<\/p>\n

Check what is explicitly excluded.<\/strong> Many KBLI codes include a “Does Not Include” section listing activities that look similar but belong to a different code. Hosting activities under KBLI 63112, for example, cannot be casually combined with telecoms infrastructure codes even though both relate to networks.<\/p>\n

If you are still unsure after reading the description, use the keyword search tool in OSS RBA under “Risk-Based KBLI Information,” or search directly through the BPS classification site. Selecting the wrong code can result in NIB rejection or a mismatch between your registered activities and what your business actually does.<\/p>\n

\n

Not Sure If Your Business Address Meets OSS Zoning Requirements?<\/p>\n

Every KBLI code requires a business domicile in a commercially zoned area recognized by OSS. vOffice Virtual Office<\/a>, with 40+ strategic locations across Indonesia, meets zoning requirements for nearly all service-sector KBLI codes.<\/p>\n

Why YBDI Matters When Registering a PT in Indonesia<\/h2>\n

For foreign investors and entrepreneurs setting up a PT or PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing, foreign-owned company) in Indonesia, understanding YBDI matters at several practical levels.<\/p>\n

One Code Can Cover More Than You Expect<\/h3>\n

A KBLI code with YBDI can cover a range of related activities under a single registration, which means fewer codes to include in your articles of association. For a tech company with multiple interconnected services, for instance, this can simplify both the notarial deed and the OSS registration significantly.<\/p>\n

YBDI Is Not a Blanket Permission<\/h3>\n

Do not read YBDI as a license to include any tangentially related activity. The scope is defined strictly by the official BPS description. If an activity you plan to run is not covered by that description, you need a separate code. Misreading the scope can create a mismatch between your NIB data and actual business operations, which becomes a problem during audits, investor due diligence, or when applying for sector-specific permits.<\/p>\n

KBLI Goes Into Your Company Deed, Not Just OSS<\/h3>\n

When incorporating a PT in Indonesia, the KBLI codes must be stated in your articles of association (akta pendirian) prepared by a notary and submitted to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) for ratification. The same codes then feed into the NIB application on OSS and determine the risk level of your business, which in turn determines whether you need only a NIB, or a NIB plus a Standard Certificate.<\/p>\n

Choosing a code with the right YBDI scope from the start avoids the need to amend the articles later, which requires a separate notarial process and approval. For a full overview of which business sectors PT companies can register under, see the guide on PT business sectors in Indonesia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Getting KBLI Right Before You Register<\/h2>\n

Understanding what YBDI means is useful, but the harder part is confirming that a specific code actually fits your business plan before it goes into your company deed. A wrong choice does not become obvious until the NIB is rejected or an OSS verifier flags an inconsistency. At that point, correcting it can mean going back to the notary, updating the Kemenkumham filing, and redoing the OSS submission.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

What does YBDI mean in Indonesian KBLI codes?<\/h3>\n

YBDI stands for Yang Berhubungan Dengan Itu, which means “related thereto” in English. When a KBLI code includes YBDI in its name, it means the code covers both the primary activity named and other activities that are directly related to it.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between YBDI and YTDL in KBLI?<\/h3>\n

YBDI (related thereto) extends coverage to activities related to the primary activity. YTDL (Yang Tidak Termasuk Dalam Lainnya, or “not included in others”) covers activities that do not fit into any other existing KBLI code. Both abbreviations can appear together in a single code name, such as KBLI 79990.<\/p>\n

Does a KBLI code with YBDI cover all related activities?<\/h3>\n

No. The scope of “related thereto” is strictly defined by the official BPS description of each code. If an activity is not mentioned in that description, it is not covered, and you need to register a separate KBLI code.<\/p>\n

Where can I find KBLI codes that use YBDI?<\/h3>\n

You can search at klasifikasi.web.bps.go.id<\/strong> (the official BPS classification portal) or through the OSS RBA portal at oss.go.id using the “Risk-Based KBLI Information” search feature. Always read the full description, not just the code name.<\/p>\n

Does the KBLI code I choose affect my PT company registration?<\/h3>\n

Yes. KBLI codes must be listed in your PT’s articles of association and ratified by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. They also determine the risk level of your business in OSS, which decides whether a NIB alone is sufficient or whether a Standard Certificate is also required.<\/p>\n

What happens if I select the wrong KBLI code?<\/h3>\n

Your NIB may be rejected or may not reflect your actual business activities. This can block sector-specific licensing applications and create compliance issues during audits or investor due diligence. If the code is in your articles of association, correcting it requires a notarial amendment before you can update OSS.<\/p>\n

Can YBDI and YTDL appear in the same KBLI code?<\/h3>\n

Yes. KBLI 79990 (Other Reservation Services YBDI YTDL) is an example. It covers reservation activities related to travel and tourism (YBDI) and also captures reservation-type activities not covered by any other KBLI code (YTDL).<\/p>\n
