As per IS : 456-2000

The code has recommended that minimum grade of concrete shall not be less than M20 in reinforced concrete work.

Design mix concrete is preferred to nominal mix. If design mix concrete cannot be used for any reason on the work for grades of M20 or lower, nominal mixes may be used with the permission of engineer-in-charge, which however is likely to involve a higher cement content.
