The finance act 2006 , has amended section 115JB with effect from 1-4-2007 (Asst Year 2007-2008) to provide that book profit shall be reduced by :
iia) the amount of depreciation debited to the profit and loss account (excluding the depreciation on account of revaluation of assets); or
(iib) the amount withdrawn from revaluation reserve and credited to the profit and loss account, to the extent it does not exceed the amount of depreciation on account of revaluation of assets referred to in clause (iia);

It is cleared from the extract provided by Mr. Sampat Jain that the intention of the legislature is that the effect of revaulation should not be there on book profit for the purpose of MAT u/s115JB.
