For calculation of Book Profit for the purpose of MAT, we just take Profit under the Profit & Loss A/c and make some adjustment as mentioned u/s 115J.
If you pick PAT from the profit and loss a/c then only you will be required to make adjustment for tax.
The format under Profit & Loss A/c is as follows: Profit before Tax: xxxx Provision for - Income Tax xxx - Fringe Benefit Tax xxx - Deferred Tax xxx ----- Profit after Tax: xxxx
So, if you have taken PAT, then only you will add(Subtract) back deferred tax liability(Deferred tax asset), otherwise there is no need to make any adjustment.
