Dear praveen,
- A Voucher is the basic document used to support the authenticity of a transaction entered in the books of accounts.
- Proper supporting documents should be attached along with the vouchers, wherever possible.
- Third party vouchers Vs Self Vouchers
a). Third Party vouchers are vouchers with supporting documents acknowledging the receipt of payment from the organisation.
e.g: Cash Bill for medicine, petrol, etc.,
b). Self Vouchers are vouchers with no supporting documents for which payment is attested by the person who has incurred the expenditure. These type of vouchers should be compulsorily authorized by the management depending upon the amount involved. e.g. Conveyance trough auto, loading and unloading charges paid etc.,
Wherever it is not possible or practical to obtain third party vouchers, self- vouchers may be used. In all other cases Third party vouchers should be used.
