No Mohit. I also have came across this law very recently in a seminar of Dr. Girish Ahuja Ji. Tax is payable according to MAT even if assessee company is eligible for deduction u/s 80IC. Logic is clear that 80IC is given from 'Total Income' while MAT is totally different and you can not claim deduction u/s 80IC from MAT.
