To maintain the principle of natural justice, the delinquent employee is served with a notice justifying the charges of his/her offense/misconduct and asking for an explanation or to present his/her stand on the charges within a reasonable time. This ensures that he/she is given a fair chance to present his/her case, which is called a show cause notice.
For example, if an employee remains absent from duties frequently without prior sanction or intimation, and without valid reasons, or remains absent from duties without intimation for more than 10 consecutive days, he is liable for disciplinary action under applicable standing orders. If despite being issued warning letters for this misconduct multiple times earlier, the employee does not show improvement, then he may be served with a show cause notice asking why appropriate disciplinary action cannot be initiated against him. In some cases, there can be a 1st show cause notice, 2nd show cause notice, and final show cause notice to provide ample chances for improvement. If there is still no improvement seen, then the employer can initiate appropriate action against the employee.

In what capacity were you working in the company? Have you got handing over taking over records? When did the company discover 2.5 lakhs shortage? Give more details for better answers.

Since your service with the employer no longer exists, there is currently no employer-employee relationship. Under these circumstances, the employer cannot issue any show cause notice or charge sheet to you.

@Riteshmaity,
It is a technicality that a show-cause notice or charge sheet cannot be issued to this person, who is presently an ex-employee. However, the issue of an allegation or claim regarding 2.5 lakh will have to be addressed by the person.
That is why I asked for more details and to see whether any practical solutions can be suggested.

I think the maximum the ex-employee can do is to reply to the show cause, raising the technicality point first. Such a show cause is not maintainable on him as he is an ex-employee, and they do not have an employer-employee status currently. On the point of the allegation, he has to clearly deny it. I do not think there is anything more required by the ex-employee.
