My question to you was do airlines allow a combination ticket - let me explain:
Assuming they have an award availability for SFO-SIN , would they allow me to buy SIN-BOM, and charge me just that airfare?(roundtrip). SIN was just an example, it could be BKK, DXB,CMB any destination close to BOM.

Please help me with your expert advice..!

Thanks..
I don't think there is a "combination" ticket, but they'll be glad to redeem an award if inventory is available. And they'd be glad to sell you a ticket at the regular price. But if the first flight is delayed, you will have problems - you missed the flight, it's not a missed connection.
