You cannot open a Zerodha account for a family member or friend using your own registered mobile number and email ID.

There is one narrow, declared exception for a defined set of family members, and there are several legitimate routes for helping a relative invest, but operating someone else’s account or using your contact details for their account is not, in general, permitted.
