But, I find a section in 'annex B' of 'ICC specification' about
'embedding ICC profiles in GIF files'. Then what does it actually mean
?? Kindly clear me.

Simple answer:

   You would do this when the image colorspace is not sRGB (the
   default colorspace) so that the recipient can later
   accurately convert the image colorspace to whatever makes sense for
   his environment.

Note that GIF does not support embedded color profiles.
