How much of I.U tablet per day is required or recommended and to be taken? And till how much time I need to take the supplement? Will there be any side effects ?

Vitamin d intramuscular injection one dose. Then start taking vitamin d supplement 600iu   for 4-8 weeks. Check your vitamin d levels again, if levels are normal you get your daily vitamin dose from sunlight and other dietary sources.
