A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares by dividing each existing share into multiple shares, while reducing the share price proportionally.

For example, in a 1:5 split, if you had 1 share worth ₹5,000, it becomes 5 shares worth ₹1,000 each.

Note: Your total investment value doesn’t change — only the number of shares and price per share change.

If you don’t see the stock split reflected in your portfolio, don’t worry. For a short period, your total investment value may appear higher or lower until both the revised price and quantity are adjusted.
