It is made compulsory by Indian stamps act. It is made compulsory to maintain the geniness of the transaction. You may be knowing while buying new house you are entering into agreement that to on stamp paper, why becasue agreement made on stamp paper has got legal validty and can be proved in court of law.

If you will not affix revenue stamp on voucher above Rs. 5000/-, nothing will happen.

But income tax officer can say no to accept the expenditure. Basically it depand, if you have sufficent documents and supporting but it is sololy dependent on the mood of IT officer.
