Hi Soumyadev,

You are allowed to hit the ball with your racket or your playing hand up to your wrist.  If the ball touches your arm then it your opponent's point.

You are allowed to move past the net but you can't interfere with your opponents.

Doubles Serving Rules

In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
