1. For the purpose of ‘determining the amount’ on which TDS should be calculation .
2. For the purpose of ‘determining TDS APPLICABILITY’ ie: scope of TDS threshold limits.
If the scope of the above circular be applied on point no 1 , then what is the scope of checking threshold limits(including GST or excluding ).

Yes, applicable. GST if charged separately, it is not counted for TDS deduction as well as for threshold limit, provided the recipient is not under composition scheme.
