Keep last 8 years books. Earlier than that you can dispose.
However it's best of you have all previous years data in digital format.
Last 8 years bill books should be retained
Why we keep last 8 years bill books

For income tax assessments. You need records for that. Gst law prescribes 5 years.

And in today's digital age keep all your data in digital formats. Easy to store and handle

8 years is prescribed as per law and as per gst that should be 5 years

Under GST Act as per section 36 of the CGST act 2017 , every registered person has to maintain books of Accounts for 72 month ( 6 years) .

72 months ( 6 yeras ) from  the due date of furnishing of annual  return for the  year  pertaining to such  accounts and  records . 

Maintain all the records at least for 8 years
But for records pertaining to fixed assets, investments and other capital expenses must be maintained even if they are more than 8 years old
8 year for which

if you were an assessee in VAT regime and any of your assessments are pending. then due date is 5 years from such assessments.
