Definition

An annexure is supporting material attached to a letter or submission. It is commonly used when you need to attach multiple documents or longer details in an organised, numbered way.

Purpose

Keeps the main letter short and action-oriented
Organises supporting material for easier review
Reduces confusion when multiple pages/documents are involved

Usage (Best practice)

Use consistent numbering (Annexure-A/Annexure-1) as per office practice.
Ensure annexure labels match what you attach.
Avoid presenting annexures as official evidence unless the underlying documents are real and available.
