26 September 2010 MAT shall not apply to the income accrued or arising from any business or service carried on by an entrepreneur, a developer in a unit or SEZ.

However, the profits derived by any undertaking covered by sections 10A, 10B, 10AA and 10BA though eligible for exemption while computing taxable income under the normal provisions, the same shall be subject to book profit tax.

27 September 2010 Section 10B is part of the Chapter III. Section 115 J Explanation excludes expenditure and incomes relating to income exempted under Chapter III [For expenditure clause (f); For income clause (ii)], while computing book profits. Hence MAT does not apply to Section 10B Income.
