What is the first step when submitting a travel voucher?

Creating the voucher is the initial and crucial step in the travel voucher submission process. This step involves gathering all necessary travel information and details such as expenses incurred, travel dates, destination, and the purpose of the travel. Before any receipts can be attached, the basic framework of the voucher must be established through the creation process, ensuring that all the relevant information is accurately captured.

Once the voucher is properly created, it can then proceed to the next steps, which include attaching receipts, submitting the voucher within the specified timeframe, and obtaining approval from the Appropriate Authority (AO). If the voucher is not created accurately or completely, the subsequent steps could be affected or may require corrections. Therefore, having a well-prepared voucher from the outset is vital for a smooth and efficient reimbursement process.
