Even after goign through lot of specs I failed to understand how CBC-MAC works, specifically in case we have message not aligned to 16 bytes. Are there any padding bytes?

See RFC 3610, 2.2 Authentication (page 3):

The message blocks are formed by splitting the message $m$ into 16-octet blocks, and then padding the last block with zeroes if necessary.
