Legal Position (as per Finance Act, 2023):
Before Amendment: MAT credit could be carried forward for 10 assessment years.
After Amendment: Effective from AY 2023-24, the MAT credit carry forward limit is 15 years (under section 115JAA(4) of the Income Tax Act).
This applies retrospectively to all unexpired MAT credit as on AY 2023-24, even if it was from a year when the 10-year rule was in place.
So, counting 15 years from AY 2014-15, the MAT credit is available up to AY 2029-30.
Therefore, in AY 2025-26, you can utilize the MAT credit of ₹1.00 crore against normal tax liability, subject to availability and other conditions.
