You could send the a/c cheque by redg. post at his address as in company's records.
You could ask the employee well in time to provide bank a/c details so as to transfer the amount of bonus in bank a/c of employee well in time.
Provisions are described in the Payment of Bonus Act:
---Penal provisions for non payment of bonus Sec 28, 29, 30
---Eligibility for payment of bonus Sec8
---Time limit for payment of Bonus Sec 19
