Dear Lokesh,
Yes, Tax as per MAT shall be payable in this case where Companies actual liability because of area based deduction like 10A/10B/80IA etc is "Nil".
As far as reference goes I would say "Explanation" - provides a method to calculated Book Profits.Further the itrems to be added & dreduced are exaustive & apart from the items listed in the explnation no other iotem is to be added /reduced..
Since EOU exemption is no where excluded therefore Tax has to be paid in this case.
Attention is invited to this amendment made in the explanation to Sec 155JB -
Words “section 10A or section 10B or” omitted by the Finance Act, 2007, w.e.f. 1-4-2008.

Suppose if the Company is situated in SEZ then is it liable to pay tax as per MAT?
Can u clarify clearly the difference between SEZ & EOU?
