17 May 2016 under Income-tax Act, 1961
All assessees are required to preserve the specific books of accounts for a period of 6 years from the end of the relevant assessment year, i.e., for a total period of 8 financial years from the end of the relevant Year.

Putting it simply, as on the date of wrting this article, you should have kept and preserved your books and records of 31 Mar 2008. Anything before that may not be needed anymore at least for Income Tax purposes.

Transfer Pricing documents and Information specified under Rule 10 D must be maintained for a period of 8 years from the end of the relevant assessment year , i.e., for a total period of 10 financial years.
