As per companies act, books of accounts have to be kept for atleast 8 yearrs

I have two questions now :

In case any company under rigorous re assessments, can you en light this requirement from the point of view of reassessments and is reassessment requires complete book of accounts?

Secondly What are the remedies available for the company which lost their books in fire or any natural calamities?
