I dont think sed will work because data in FILE can contain TABS, if we replace TABS, original data will also get replaced.
I got the answer , anyway Thanks
yes "" |head -`wc -l FILE_1 | awk '{print $1}'` | paste FILE_1 - FILE_2
This will add two tabs and if you want 3 tabs you can do
yes "" |head -`wc -l FILE_1 | awk '{print $1}'` | paste FILE_1 - - FILE_2
assumption is file_1 and file_2 of same length here

text::tabs
Text::Tabs(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Text::Tabs(3pm)
NAME
Text::Tabs -- expand and unexpand tabs per the unix expand(1) and unexpand(1)
SYNOPSIS
use Text::Tabs;
$tabstop = 4; # default = 8
@lines_without_tabs = expand(@lines_with_tabs);
@lines_with_tabs = unexpand(@lines_without_tabs);
DESCRIPTION
Text::Tabs does about what the unix utilities expand(1) and unexpand(1) do. Given a line with tabs in it, expand will replace the tabs
with the appropriate number of spaces. Given a line with or without tabs in it, unexpand will add tabs when it can save bytes by doing so
(just like "unexpand -a"). Invisible compression with plain ASCII!
EXAMPLE
#!perl
# unexpand -a
use Text::Tabs;
while (<>) {
print unexpand $_;
}
Instead of the "expand" comand, use:
perl -MText::Tabs -n -e 'print expand $_'
Instead of the "unexpand -a" command, use:
perl -MText::Tabs -n -e 'print unexpand $_'
