Sir,

The telephone Service Supplier would have charged gst on the supply of the service. Therefore you will collect the entire amount including gst charged by the service supplier. Therefore if you charge gst again you have to deposit the same into Government Account which will amount charging gst for the second time on the same service supplied which, in my opinion, is not permissible under law.

Yesterday I posted extract of FAQ as additional knowledge. I agree with the views of Sh.Ranganathan, Sir.

There cannot be double taxation.

Amount recovered from Employees for Mobile use signifies the usage of Mobile by employee for his personal purposes. Company is not eligible for ITC as per Section 17(5) of CGST Act, as these services are for personal consumption and not to be used in furtherance of business.

If ITC is availed and afterwards GST is collected from Employees, the same is to be deposited as is treated as Supply.

GST is applicable as it is supply.
