Yes u can do it. you have to pay penalty for submission of return.
In case of year of commencement of business you are exempted to get urself registered under the service tax act upto aggregate gross value of Rs. 9 lakh but in this case u can not collect tax from the client. If you are collecting service tax then u have to take registration irrespective of value of taxable services.
