No exemption is admissible to organisation registered under Section 12A of Income Tax Act. The GST department will strictly adhere to Section 12AA only.

Section 12AA prescribes the procedure for registration of trust. Section 12A provides the conditions for registration of trust. Section 12A (2) provides that the registration of trust after 2007 section 11 and section 12 shall be applicable.
