Para 2.14 — GPF_MANUAL

(G.I.F.D.No.1753-FE dated 21.7.1923, G.R.F.D.No.2453 dated 3.8.1923) 2.14 The deposits at credit of subscribers in the General Provident Fund or their own deposits in a Contributory Provident Fund are not to be confiscated in satisfaction of a fine imposed on a subscriber by a criminal court or in recoupment of defalcations of public money committed by him. It has been recognised throughout that any statutory power given to Government to make good their losses from the deposits of a subscriber to his fund would be inconsistent with the principles of a Provident Fund.
