Hi Chandrachur,
I don't recommend it at all. Apart from being illegal, it will effect your rubber in some way but I don't think it will do any good.

but if I am not playing any tournament and play just for fun then can it increase the grip??
I don't think it does and may even damage your rubber.

The oil seems to soak complete into the rubber, perhaps we have a chemical engineer on this forum who can tell us what’s actually happening here.
Is does raise another question, there may be a thin line between cleaning the rubber with oil or using one of those fancy legal foam cleaners labeled as “to remove dirt and bring your rubber back to its grip”, I haven’t been able to find out what they are made of and they are too expensive to be just soap, just wonder.
