Best Answer

You cannot. You can only open an account on your name and nobody else can do that. Similarly, the other person you are talking about here has to visit the bank personally and ask for opening an account. No one else can do it for him.

However, if you insist on doing that, you need to get a legal power of attorney from that other person if you want to do it. The power of attorney gives you unlimited powers to act on behalf of the other party and do anything on his behalf.
