Dear Sandeep,
If the main object of the trust is any of the below, then it will remain exempted form tax and can register under 12AA and 80G:
relief of the poor
Education
medical relief
preservation of environment (including watersheds, forests & wildlife)
Preservation of monuments/places/objects of artistic/historic interest
However, if the purpose of trust is advancement of any other object of general public utility then it would lose exemption if the turnover exceeds Rs 25 lakhs
