Trust registered under 12AA and 80G is eligible to collect donations.

Yes @ Eswar Reddy I'm taking about GST bcz some CA's are talking about GST that gst may be charged just like membership fee.Bcz their point of view that you are forcely taken from members as donation not treated like membership fees to save your gst..If you take donation from members at the time of Admission then charge gst on it if donation taken from members after admission then it will be out of gst purview so I'm confused.. please guide me gst treatment on donation.

If the money being received by you is gratuitous i.e. you are not liable to give any services to the person who has given the money then that is donation and it is outside the purview of GST.
Donation should also be voluntary. If it is mandatory to give certain money then that will not be donation regrdless of what you call it
