You could charge and collect as the law requires that wihtin 30 days of the provision of taxable services you should get registered.

The probalem could be that the client/ cusotmer may not get credit and you would have to send the registration certificate later for him to claim the same.

If the service tax is collected by any person, whether registered or unregistered, It is mandatory to deposit such service tax to the credit of central govt.
