Hi tinku,After you are attained the age of 21 its almost not possible to increase your height since all bones have matured by now,and epiphyses have fused.You can try stretching exercises but i doubt it will show any drastic effect,

Hi.. Welcome to healthcare magic forum
No known drug ,hormone exercise can increase height at this age,only with surgery you can gain some height( limb lengthening ) ,which is not advisable.Disclaimer
