If there is receipt of commission from the mobile company, normally the turnover will be your commission including TDS.

There is another school of thought that the seller is collecting service tax and price from the end user it should also be treated as turnover.

My opinion is that if there is a commission part, you can take the commission part alone as turnover. If there is profit portion only in any point of sale, the entire amount can be treated as turnover.
