You have to determine whether the mobile phone service that you have used meets the definition of 'input service' given in sub-rule (l) of Rule 2 of Cenvat Credit Rules, 2004. If you meet the criteria given in the definition, you can take the credit.

Sir, as i have said we are traders of chemical,it would be great if you would help me with the information.

You cannot get credits of the service tax paid against RCM liability.
