Dear Shaji Joseph,
As the Securities given without consideration amount to Gift as such the provisions of Gift tax should be applicable.
Best regards

I think, gift tax act has been repealed long back. Presently no such tax in India. It may considered income for donee as per income tax act if it covered under the relevant provisions.
