One of my assessee is a society registered under Societies Act. In this regard, I would like to know whether any subscriptions and admission fees received by it from its members would be taxable or it would be treated as capital receipts?

On the mutuality aspect the sum received will not be taxable. Even though society is a separate legal entity but it is not separate from its members.
One can not earn from himself. In this case mutuality concept will be applied.
