I have a custom post type in my plugin "Luckydraw" as 'voucher'.
By clicking on post link, wordpress generates its URL as :
http://localhost:81/luckydraw/index.php/voucher/testing-2/
But I want to change it to:
http://localhost:81/luckydraw/voucher/testing-2/
How would I do this?

You can achieve your task in both ways through plugin as well as coding
Manually
Please see the documentation on URLs of Namespaced Custom Post Types Identifiers. One of the options available to you is to add a 'rewrite' argument to register_post_type(). From the docs:
Plugin
Custom Post Type Permalinks allow you edit the permalink structure of custom post type.

I am not sure I follow your question, title seems different from question itself.
You seem to want to get rid of index.php in URL?
It's hard to say confidently from outside, but it looks like PATHINFO permalink.
If that's the case you would need to change your WP permalink configuration to more common "pretty" one. Doesn't have anything to do with CPT's config.
Change or add the
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'luckydraw', 'with_front' => false ),
into the register_post_type arguments, This will change the slug of your custom post type.
