In the United States, this is called a "stock split." While it is true
that you don't benefit immediately because the value of your holdings
doesn't change with the split, it may be that the stock is more
affordable after the split, so trading volume goes up, increasing the
potential for future gains in value. For example, if the stock is
traded in lots of 100 shares, at 100 Rs, a potential buyer must be
willing to invest 10,000 Rs, but if the stock splits, the minimum
investment is reduced to 5,000 Rs.

The answer is you don't benefit financially.

Please cite at least two examples where a stock with a significant (more
than 2%, say) dividend, kept the dollar value of the dividend the same
after the split, thus doubling the yield upon splitting. I think what
you suggest is the exception, not the rule.
