15 January 2018 Yes, it's permissible if it is furtherance of business. You can claim credit in GSTR-2 and for claiming the credit you have to submit your GST no. to concerned authority.So that they can entered your transaction in GSTR-1 as a B2B.

16 January 2018 GST on electricty is nil. Therefore there is no question of input. However, you can claim ITC on gst levied for phone for business use only on the taxable turnover. As usual you will have to proportion it and apply it only in the ratio your taxable turnover (incl zero rated) has to non taxable, exempt and Non Input (eg restaurant) turnover.
