Credit can't be calimed on medicines as per section 17(5)(g) of CGST Act 2017.
Credit on recharge also can be claimed but it is advaisable to reverse the 5% of credit because there is more chance that mobile balance is getting used for personal purpose also. As you can't bifurcate the value of usage for both personal and official purpose.
