CONULTATION NETWORK
There is no formal requirement. Any Gurdwara or organisation and individual can join in the consultation. BSCF works as a national consultancy body among Sikhs and liaises with State institutions, Government and other faith bodies based on outcomes of consultations. Gurdwaras are given preeminent voice in the consultations.

The organisation has a network of the leading 80 Gurdwaras and about 15 organisations that are contacted. Some time many more attend. Some consultations are held regionally with at least 6 centres chosen around the country. These are face to face with Gurdwaras and organisations taking the lead. The consensus of opinion is presented to all and then given to relevant State body.

MEMBERSHIP
Membership is by invitation and open to Gurdwaras as well as Sikh organisations. Any Gurdwara or organisation can express an interest to be a member and take responsibility for any of the BSCF functions.
