•Minimum Alternate Tax

The concept of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) was introduced in the direct tax system to make sure that companies having large profits and declaring substantial dividends to shareholders but who were not contributing to the Government by way of corporate tax, by taking advantage of the various incentives and exemptions provided in the Income-tax Act, pay a fixed percentage of book profit as minimum alternate tax.

It is called MAT and is a direct tax. It was introduced to deter some companies who managed their account in such a way that they end up paying zero or no tax to the government.

NBFCs may be engaged in the business of loans & credit facilities, savings products, investments & money transfer services
The RBI is entrusted with the responsibility of regulating and supervising the NBFC by virtue of powers vested under Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934
