For the purpose of making a gift of movable property, the transfer may be effected either by a registered instrument signed or by delivery. Such delivery may be made in the same way as goods sold may be delivered vide section 123 of the Transfer of Property Act. In view of the above,gift of shares may be made through registration only because you are transferring them through execution of a Gift Deed.
