Query Regarding GST Applicability on Electricity Charges Reimbursed by Owner

[milan bamal]

A warehouse owner raises a monthly rent bill for the warehouse to the tenant. The owner also pays the electricity bill every month and recovers the electricity charges from the tenant. The owner raises a separate reimbursement bill for the electricity charges. In this case, is GST applicable on the electricity amount recovered from the tenant?

If the answer to the above query is "No", and the owner charges GST on the reimbursement invoice for electricity charges, would there be any issue ???
