Sir, Our sales staff do door to door collection of EMI and deposit the same with the branch on the same day . They have a TAB instrument for collection of EMI and disbursement of Loan. Since the instrument is costly , they keep a nominal amount as security deposit for the same , with us .
If the staff misappropriates the money and absconds then can we : adjust the amount from the security deposit and the salary payable to him?
what will be recourse if the misappropriation comes to light after he has left the organisation

Adjusting company money from the security deposit and salary payable is the recourse the company has to ultimately do. But if misappropriation of company fund comes to light, proceed and initiate disciplinary proceedings also. Conduct domestic enquiry and award punishment, till such time
suspend all amounts payable to him by the company.
If the asset value of company is higher than the amount payable to employee (security deposit, salaries, payment of allowances etc), what will you do?
Once enquiry is completed and obtain report from the Enquiry officer, you can proceed to initiate legal action/file a suit in the appropriate Court of Law for recovery of amount with penal interest.

Dear ANNONYMOUS Friend,
I agree with P Radhakrishnan Nair.
You can not adjust the amount so called by you as misappropriated from the security kept and salary due, unilaterally.
You say that the staff has misappropriated. But you have to prove it. You have to give an opportunity to the staff to be heard by following principal of natural justice.

Sir
our audit team has conducted enquiry and have given report on the same detailing the amount misappropriated .
Post this we have discussed the same in our disciplinary commitee meeting .
However , the employee has absconded . Hence we are unable to recover the amount from him .
in our industry , employees leave the job without information / serving notice period.
what is the recourse now .

Enquiries by Audit Committee, Disciplinary committee, etc are only internal enquiries. That is good, Collect their findings/report and document it. But you need to initiate domestic enquiry by appointing an Enquiry officer (a registered legal practioner) and seek his report also. There are few procedures also before initiating domestic enquiry.
If the delinquent employee did not turn up for participating in the enquiry procedure, you can hold the enquiry ex-parte (this is to be decided by Enquiry officer).
Thanking you.
