As per the SEBI circular
(WEB),
stock brokers need to upload unique mobile numbers and email addresses for each client. Clients can only
update unique mobile numbers and email IDs
to their Zerodha account.
If an existing client used the same contact details for a family member's account, they must submit a declaration and ID proof either online or offline. Family members include spouses, dependent children, and dependent parents. The ID proof can be any of the following: birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport,
masked Aadhaar
or PAN.
If an existing client uses the same contact details for a non-individual account (HUF, corporate, partnership, etc.), they need to submit a declaration offline. If a client has multiple non-individual accounts, each must have a
unique mobile number and email ID.
Example scenario
Mr X, his wife, and his parents have an account with Zerodha. The mobile number and email ID linked to the wife's and parents' accounts belong to Mr X. The wife and parents are required to submit the declaration.
