HI Akash,

In singles the ball has to land anywhere on the other side of the table. 

In doubles if you hit the ball onto the right side it is out.  It must land on the left half of the table to be a good serve in doubles.

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.
