Alternate Minimum Tax

If you're already paying at least that much because of the regular income tax, you don't have to pay AMT. But if your regular tax falls below the minimum, you have to pay the higher AMT amount. The AMT takes away certain breaks allowed by the regular income tax system.

AMT will be calculated in 3 situations where deduction is claimed under 10AA (SEZ) 35(AD) Specified business 80H to 80RRB (except 80P) In all above situations question of calculating AMT will arise, then Income under normal provisions is compared with AMT, higher tax in those two will be taken.
