Solution

A fictional character cannot be an 'assessee'. This is because an assessee, according to tax laws, refers to a person who is liable to pay taxes to the government. This person can be an individual, a company, a firm, an association of persons (AOP) or a body of individuals (BOI), a Hindu undivided family (HUF), etc.

A deceased person's legal representative, a minor, and a non-resident Indian can all be assessees.

  1. A deceased person's legal representative: Even after a person's death, their income earned until their death is taxable. The legal representative of the deceased person is responsible for paying any tax due.

  2. A minor: A minor's income is clubbed with the income of their parent/guardian and is taxable. Therefore, a minor can be an assessee.

  3. A non-resident Indian: Non-resident Indians are liable to pay tax in India on their income earned in India. Therefore, they can be assessees.

On the other hand, a fictional character cannot be an assessee because they do not exist in reality and therefore cannot earn income or pay taxes.
