Yes you can take it. There is very less quantity of vitamin d3 in shell cal tablet just to supplement calcium absorption and function but not for curing vit d deficiency. If you are taking more than 2 times a day a slight modification in the dose could be done.

Dear user, it is likely you are not consuming fat soluble vitamins.
If vegetarian, consume more dairy products.
If non vegetarian, add oily fish.
If your digestion is bad, then add himalaya bael twice a day.
Get adequate sunlight exposure on skin.
Avoid seeds and dry fruits as they contain phytic acid which depletes our calcium, vitamin d reserves due to their antinutrients properties. Consume amino acids instead of multivitamins. Get minimum 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.more

Try getting vitamin d through injection.
Also increase consumption of dairy products.
Get direct sunlight on skin.
If non vegetarian, consume oily fish.
Avoid nuts, seeds and dry fruits as they contain phytic acid which are antinutrients that deplete our cal...more

If you are vegetarian, focus on dairy products including milk, curd, ghee,butter. Follow these steps, you will notice drastic change. If lactose intolerant, t...more
