1). GST is not required to be paid if a separate invoice is being issued by XYZ Ltd to their clients for the same and the amount paid is including Gst to XYZ ltd by their clients you should also have a valid TAX Invoice on your name from those authorities for which amount is being paid to claim ITC.

2). No concept of reversal of ITC.

Kindly refer Rule 33 of CGST Rule (concept of pure Agent)
