Is it possible to get following solution:
1. Black berry will enforce password, but no wipe out option enable.
or
Black berry will enforce password, but false password attempts would be 100.
and idel timeout will be configurable and sould be 15 min or less.
Welcome to the forums.

It is considered rude to hijack someone's thread for your own issue.

To answer your question, no, none of the options are possible. Even without a BES, if a device has a password on it, it will wipe after 10 attempts by default. That cannot be increased.

Maybe try to pitch it to them in a way that if someone loses their device, and someone tries to access it, the company's data will be safe as the device will wipe, thus preventing anyone from accessing the data.

If they're worried, the BES admin can always reset the password for the user if needed.

Could an Admin move this post to its own thread in the BES Admin section?
