When we do serve the toss of ball is compulsory or not?

Hi Sudhanshu,
Yes it is compulsory. The ball has to go up at least 16cm.
her his the section of the rule that is relevant.
The server shall then project the ball near vertically upwards, without imparting spin, so that it rises at least 16cm after leaving the palm of the free hand and then falls without touching anything before being struck.

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.
