Hi, What do you mean by a wrong increment letter? An increment letter with incorrect numbers or an increment meant for someone else wrongly given to another person? Was the increment letter emailed or issued as a hard copy?
If you sent it via official Outlook email ID, use the recall option to retrieve it. (The original message must still be unread for the recall to work. If the message has been "read," the recipient will still receive a request that you want to recall the message.) If a hard copy was issued, call the employee and retrieve it.

The most obvious step would be to inform the candidate that it was wrongly sent. Then you must send out an official letter informing him/her that it was wrongly sent and is withdrawn.
But you should be ready with a plan to contain the damage caused by the letter. No one likes to be insulted by having an increment withdrawn. So at least, you need to explain why the increment was not given to the candidate.
I also suggest you appraise the management and the concerned chain of commands of the mistake and the steps being taken by you to correct it.
