Hi Sushant,

Yes you can hit the ball from there after the serve.  On the serve the ball has to be behind the end line or the extension of the end line.  After that you can move anywhere around the table to hit the ball.

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.
