An Invoice Voucher is a fundamental financial document used in Indian business operations for processing and recording payment transactions. This document type is essential when organizations need to maintain proper documentation of payments made to vendors, suppliers, or service providers. The voucher must comply with various Indian regulations including the GST Act, Companies Act, and Income Tax Act. It typically includes comprehensive information about the transaction, including party details, payment amounts, tax implications, and appropriate authorizations.
