No part of any PF can ever be forfeited. In case of EPFO subscriber even the pension component is part of PF and enjoys equal protection.

Any clause to that effect shall be illegal.

In Govt sector leave encashment can be denied in case of dismissal from service or retiring under chargesheet/ suspension/ criminal case. Similar clause can be put in Standing Orders.
