ICDS applicability: ICDS do not apply to MAT on book profit but apply to AMT on adjusted total income.

ICDS do not apply to MAT because MAT is computed on book profit as per the Profit and Loss Account under company law, with specific statutory adjustments; ICDS are not incorporated into that book profit basis. ICDS apply to AMT because AMT is calculated on adjusted total income derived from total income determined under the regular tax provisions, and ICDS affect that regular computation.
