Section 209-4A of the Companies Act 1956 mentions of storage of books of accounts and vouchers relevant to it for min of 8 years.
Does it mean that the vouchers need to be stored in original physical copy only? Can scanned versions be saved for verification?
What if the original voucher is itself an electronic voucher (like e-version of telephone bills)?
Please answer based on Company Act; IT Amendment Act 2008 Sections 4,6,7,7A on electronic records; and practically how does auditors and tax/other govt/courts accept electronic records?
