Hi Wajahat,
Up to your wrist is considered part of your bat. Usually when the ball hits your finger it also hits your bat. Previously if it did this it would be considered a double hit however the rule has now been changed.
If you hit the ball with both the finger and the bat and it is not deliberate it is still a good shot now.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
