In many places I read that "There is/There are" is in general wrong in GMAT....
Can someone please tell why ? Is there any grammatical/logical reason for the same?
Can someone please tell under what circumstances "There is/there are" is correct and when the same is wrong ?

there's no reason why it should
generally be wrong.
in many cases, it's less concise than some other formulation. for instance,
there are two cell phones on the table is less concise than
on the table are two cell phones.
still, you won't really see choices that are incorrect
only on the basis of concision. so, if there's a choice on which they deride "there is / there are" as not concise enough, there should definitely be some other reason to eliminate that choice as well.
