Hi Preetish,
Stay central to the table. The best position is where you can just touch the table when you are in the Basic Stance. Then put your bat on the middle line. This should put you into a good position to reach the whole table with just one step in any direction.
To receive spin, think about using your bat like a rudder to steer the ball back. We have a series on Receiving Secrets that will help a lot in this area.
