Common Questions
Membership FAQ
Who can join SSA?
Any adult Sindhi residing in Singapore is eligible to join SSA as an Ordinary Member. Since 2003, when the Association was renamed from the Sindhi Merchants Association to the Singapore Sindhi Association, membership has been open to all adult Sindhis — not just merchants.
What are the membership charges?
Membership charges are reviewed periodically by the Management Committee. For the current entrance fee and annual subscription amount, please contact the SSA Secretariat directly at +65 6345 5664 or sindhisg@gmail.com. We will be happy to advise you.
How long does the application take?
Applications are reviewed by the Management Committee at their regular meetings. Typically, you will hear back from the Secretariat within 3–5 working days of submitting your completed form and payment. Once approved, your membership commences immediately.
Can I bring my family to SSA events?
Yes! Many SSA events are open to members' families. The Diwali Grand Open House, for example, is completely free for all members and their families — including children. Specific guest policies vary by event and will be stated in event notices.
What is the Sindhi Almanac (Tipna)?
The Tipna is the annual Sindhi Almanac — a book listing all auspicious dates, times and festivals in the Sindhi calendar for the year. SSA provides one free copy to every member annually. The usual retail price is $5 per book. It is particularly useful for planning family ceremonies and pujas.
How do I use SSA's priest service?
SSA's resident Maharaj is available to members for family religious ceremonies — naming ceremonies (cradle ceremonies), weddings, Satya Narayan pujas, and other auspicious occasions. Simply contact the Secretariat to enquire about availability and arrange a booking.
Can I book halls at Sindhu House?
Yes. SSA members receive discounted rates for booking rooms and halls at Sindhu House for personal functions — birthday celebrations, family gatherings, pujas, and more. Contact the Secretariat for availability and member rates.
How do I upgrade to Life Membership?
Ordinary members who have been full paying members for at least one year may apply to convert to Life Membership. This involves a one-time payment in lieu of further annual subscriptions, subject to Management Committee consent. Contact the Secretariat for current Life Membership fees.
