The simple answer is: You don't. Punishing a cat, much like a dog, is incredibly detrimental to the animal. Shouting, hitting, or even spraying it with water is likely to cause the cat to become scared of the owner or become aggressive. Some cats will try to hide certain behaviours (scratching or toileting inappropriately for example) away from the owner.
The best way to curb "bad" behaviour is to try and understand why your cat is behaving in such a way. In a lot of cases, sudden changes in behaviour are often caused by medical problems. Other times, it is caused by changes in routine that have stressed the cat, or the cat isn't getting the care/enrichment/environment it needs. Some behaviours that are classed as "bad" by us are perfectly natural for a cat; exploring and jumping on kitchen counters and tables are part of a cat's nature. Cats are curious creatures and like to have a good view of the environment from a high place.
There are many ways to try and accommodate for how a cat acts, and there are ways of curbing unwanted behaviour such as scratching and biting without resorting to tapping the cat on the nose or spraying water in its face.

Why is my cat not coming inside anymore?
I believe that the reason your cat is not entering your house no more is because of the fact that another cat may be scaring your cat away from your home as the other cat believes that this house is now its territory. If this is not the case and you have another cat living with you then the cat that isn't coming inside feels unwanted as the other cat has been getting the love and affection. If you have kicked your cat out of the house temporarily (overnight) as it has done something bad then once again, your cat may feel unwanted, especially if this has happened under various occasions.
