As per Rule 2(ii)(a) of the Income-tax (Appellate Tribunal) Rules, 1963, in relation to an assessee, 'authorised representative' means a person duly authorised by the assessee under section 288 to attend before the Tribunal.

A 'Chartered Accountant' is covered as an 'authorised representative' under section 288(2)(iv) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
