Is it necessary to throw the ball 16cm high to serve?

Hi Rohit,
Yes, that is one of the rules of Table Tennis. It is good to get into the habit of doing it during training.
The ball can go higher if you want, but it has to go up at least 16cm away from your hand to be legal.

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.
