Dear All,

As per Companies Act 2013, every company has to preserve the books of accounts for 8 years. My question is can the company preserve the books of accoutns + vouchers + orginal bills in soft form ( scan copy ) ? or in other words can discard the hard copies and keep only softcopoies ?

Regards,

Vaibhav
