Addresses the mechanism for granting tax credit for MAT/AMT paid in excess of regular tax liability by Companies : Clause 206(13)-(16) of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 Vs. Section 115JAA of the Income-tax Act, 1961

MAT/AMT credit mechanism clarified - excess alternate-tax paid is a carry-forward entitlement usable against future regular tax liability.

MAT/AMT credit is the difference between tax paid under Clause 206(1) and tax payable under normal provisions, carried forward as a non-refundable, non-interest-bearing entitlement to be set off in future years when regular tax exceeds MAT/AMT; credits are adjusted for excess foreign tax credits and for any changes in tax liability resulting from assessment or appellate orders, and lapse after the prescribed carry-forward period.
