Rule of giving extra runs on no ball
Before the 90s, extra runs were not given on no balls. Then the batsman could score only 4 or 6 runs by hitting a four on a no ball. At that time, there was a trend of not giving wickets on no balls, but in the 90s, a rule was also made to give extra runs on no balls.
When has this rule been implemented
ICC took another tough decision on no ball in 2015. From then till now the rule of free hit on no ball continues. This applies to ODI and T20 cricket.

For a free hit, the bowler has to bowl an extra ball, on this ball also the batsman's wicket does not fall except in some special circumstances. The batsman can bat freely on both these balls.
