After retirement, the govt can not stop the benefits, the accused/Govt servant is convicted.

Dear AF,
First of all, your question is contradictory in itself, as on one hand you make a mention of company, as if you were an employee of a company, on the other hand you make a mention of CCS Rules, which are applicable only to the Central Government employees. So, you need to clear your position first, whether you were a Central Government employee or a State employee or a company employee.
If you were a Government employee disciplinary action can be taken by your department within the next 4 years of retirement for any misconduct on your part during your service time.
Your PF cannot be held on account of any disciplinary case.
Rest of the reply depend upon your clarification.
