can we destroy all the books older than 8 years or need to preserve something?

You have to keep all the Books of Accounts beyond eight years also. However, Sales Bills, Purchases Bills and other vouchers may be destroyed.

Mr Bhandari!
Mr Anurag, Sunil and Bafna has answered clearly and correctly.
It is a matter of convenience if books beyond 8 yrs are kept. My experience says keep the books and other documents to the extent you can keep without considering the limitation of Law of 8 yrs. Many times old record helps.
