Soft vs hard copies

371 views 2 replies

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

As per IT act soft copy are regarded as official documents. But till no notification yet published in co act to maintain books of account in soft copy.
so you should have to maintain hard copy.
