If an employee was absent on a particular date and their attendance was marked with a red line indicating their absence for that day, but they marked themselves present on the following date, is there any law that allows us to issue them a show cause notice?

Dear Surat Singh,

Unauthorized amendments in the records of attendance are misconduct. However, are you sure that the employee who was absent has amended the attendance records? What if someone else has done this to cover for the absent employee? Therefore, be cautious when issuing the show cause notice. Issue the notice only if you have concrete evidence of the amendment.

Thanks,

This act will easily come under misconduct. However, the onus will be on the management to prove that the said employee, who was absent, has himself put his signature on the next day. The entire procedure has to be proved under a domestic inquiry (provided that the employee is a 'workman') before taking further action.
