Hi Shoaib,
Yes absolutely. In fact to improve your game you need to impart spin on the serve. We have a series on our site, Serving Secrets which shows you how to develop your serves with spin.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.

But you aren't allowed to impart spin as you throw the ball up. You should learn to spin the ball with your bat as Alois mentioned so you can improve your service. Good luck!
