Lifting the pivot foot is never a violation; but if you lift both feet, it's a violation when either foot returns to the floor.

Actually, there is a case under FIBA rules when lifting a foot causes a violation (assuming the player is not dribbling): if one foot is in the frontcourt and the other is in the backcourt, lifting the foot in the frontcourt is an "over and back" violation (returning the ball in the backcourt). However it's impossible that the foot in the frontcourt is pivot (it might become pivot upon lifting the other one).
