Assessee has been defined in Rule 2(c) of Central Excise Rules as, “assessee†means any person who is liable for payment of duty assessed or a producer or manufacturer of excisable goods or a registered person of a private warehouse in which excisable goods are stored and includes an authorized agent of such person;" Why? Difficult to answer- may be "Legislative Wisdom", we cant question.
