Are you sure 

Service tax shall be applicable only on commission, but exemption is given under notification no.25/2012 ST serial number 29.
Since the recharge cards were not considered as goods, VAT will not be applicable.
Usually Service tax will be paid by service providers on 100% value including commission to be on the safer side. Some service providers will pay on amount except commission. This was held in the case of tata telecommunications vs CCE and decision was in the favor of tata telecommunications and it was informed that ST could be payable on gross amount charged to distributors.

There is applicability of service tax.
