We noticed the same after a month there was a difference of cash. Then we asked the concerned person regarding the same. He accepted the malpractice and he applogize his mistake and agreed to pay the amount with in one month and also a given blank cheque for the same as security.
Further to that he is given a writtern self declaration for making payment on a 100 rupees stamp paper. He is making run up and down to get the amount. Kindly let us know how to recover the amount.

You have following options:
Receive the misappropriated amount, recommend to competent authority not to file any case against him as he has already left service and amount has been recovered.
Or Lodge FIR against the person, let him face the music.
All depend on the views / stand taken by your department and management.

Your first priority is to get the amount misappropriated; also get the his statment of confession recorded before the principal or an authority of standing.

Venu Sir,
The author has posted that:

Apparently either the delinquent employee has no money or does not want to pay.
They seem to have given long rope.

Mr. Krishnan,
As an Accounts Manager, your first and foremost duty is to recover the embezzled amount from the accused. So, you should have some patience to wait for the implications of legally valid documents/ agreement, which you have already received from the accused.
By the way, please don't mind, as an Accounts Manager, what action you have taken so far against the supervising executive of the accused person, having failed to discharge his duty diligently?

"He is making run up and down to get the amount. Kindly let us know how to recover the amount. "
Money disappears very fast.
Try by visiting him at his new workplace (with consent of your superiors) and cajole him to pay and do mention (with consent of your superiors, if they indeed agree) that you will recommend to close the matter...................
You can even try (with consent of your superiors) by approaching his locality/family.................
If he doesn't seem to be inclined to pay then as already suggested;
Refer to your legal adviser / legal cell of your establishment.
They will handle.
Everyone knows and should also be already aware that: the management may initiate action for lapses against everyone in the hierarchy.........................

It is amply clear from the beginning the long rope that has been given is with hope that he shall pay back.
So far he has not paid.
So you need to make him pay and recover.
