Zerodha email: multiple accounts share the same mobile or email

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A Zerodha email stating that your registered mobile number or email ID is linked to more than one trading account is a KYC-compliance notice, not a fraud alert. SEBI requires each client to hold a unique mobile number and email ID against every trading and demat account , so that exchange and broker communications, order confirmations, and one-time passwords reach a single identifiable contact. When the same number or email sits on two or more accounts, Zerodha’s records breach that requirement, and the email asks you to make the contact details unique or to declare a permitted family relationship.

You cannot open a Zerodha account for a family member or friend using your own registered mobile number and email ID. The rule is set by SEBI : every individual client must have unique contact details, a mobile number and email of their own, so that communications and reports from the exchanges, the depositories and the broker reach the actual account holder rather than a third party. 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. This article sets out the rule, the reasoning behind it, the family exception, the prohibition on third-party operation, and the lawful alternatives.
