hey Anil,

           If you want to give it through script, you can try this......

activeTextBox.label = "myLabel";

Thanks for help. Does this work in complete indesign document?

try this..

var myDoc = app.documents[0];
var page = myDoc.pages;
for(var i = 0; i < page.length; i++){
    page.textFrames[0].label = "myLable" + i;
    }

What do you mean by complete document?

Look into DOM documentation for property label or methods insertLabel() and extractLabel().
You'll find, that label is a property of a lot of objects.

Even available for a Document object or the app itself.

Be aware that the user interface cannot reveal all your label entries you can do by scripting.
