Hi Sujith thank you so much for your clarifications. One query... Isn't the GST charged by vendor an additional cost burden on the trust (even if it is 12A registered)? What will be the logic of government in making this law?
Yes, GST charged by vendors is additional burden to the trust. Both government and trust have same moto to an extent providing service to the public in thier way, hence the govt feels collecting tax from trust would only mean instead of trust spending for people govt will spend.

Charitable activities also normally liable unless there is a clear exemption. There are 35 lakhs NGo but only 3-4 lakhs are genuine. GST mandates even govt to pay GST unless there is an exemption. Over period of time most exemptions would disappear and refund would be the route for providing support.
