Assessable Value (AV) is the 'Value' on which duty is payable as a percentage. Generally, by 'Value', we understand the price as mentioned in Bill or Invoice. However, for excise purposes, it is not possible to fully rely on such price as (a) Duty is payable even if goods are not sold (b) It is desirable to have uniform policy in fixing the AV (c) Chances of manipulation in such price should be minimum.
HENCE, RS. 730.00 WILL BE ASSESABLE VALUE.
