If the full amount of Rs8000/- has been charged to P&L as depreciation , then credit back that amount to P&L.
If say a partial amount Rs5000 is charged to P&L as depreciation , credit back Rs 5000 to P&L. Balance of Rs 3000 deduct it from that asset appearing in balance sheet.
Both the treatment is possible only after 2years(said by you). Assuming you have decided to write off bcz of non payment.
