yes if it non-refundble & adjusted against call charges.

View of Parihar is correct. You can ask with the mobile service operator not to adjust the same and refund it after specified period. You can plan your taxes.

Agreed with learned members above. If its non-refundable and adjustible against call charges, then service tax shall be applicable.

No, if it is a refundable security deposit, it is not taxable. However, if later on, it is adjusted against call charges then first service tax on call charges has to be levied and after that it has to be adjusted against security deposit.
