11 March 2010 Declaration of gift can be made a plain paper also. It is preferable to be made on a Rs. 100/- stamp paper not older than 6 months from the date of gift.
Since the gift is taken from brother of your father there would be no tax payable on the same.

12 March 2010 Agree with the expert. The same may be reflected in your Personal Balance Sheet as your investment in Shares by passing the following entry:

Investment in Shares Dr.
To Capital Account

One more thing which you should note is that a the following two clauses should appear in the Gift decleration itself.

"1.The said shares were purchased by me from the secondary market for a value of Rs...../- on (date), or

The said shares were allotted to me by the company on (date) against a sum of Rs..../-

2. Also, I have signed a Transfer Deed in this regard so that (name of the donee) may apply the company for transferring these in his name."

Such shares being physical should be got transgferred in due course of time.
