  • Annual Subscriptions are due on 1st January every year. Subscriptions do not include Durga Puja donations that are payable separately.
  • Please note that membership fees are payable in full for the calendar year and cannot be pro-rated.
  • Membership is automatically considered “Active” every year unless notification of cancellation is received by the President, Vice-President, Honorary Secretary or the Honorary Treasurer. An “Active” status means the membership is payable.
  • To continue enjoying BAS membership, current subscriptions and fees from the previous 2 years (if any) are payable.
  • In the event, the membership is not received by BAS for 3 consecutive years, the membership is considered “Lapsed”. In such cases, the membership can be re-applied by the member and will be considered as a “New Member”.
