Yes, putting your photo and name on someone else's card is illegal. Do not do it. It will be a case of forgery which is punishable under the Indian penal code.
Punishment for forgery is imprisonment for 2 years or fine or both as the court may deem fit.
So, I would suggest that you apply for your voter's ID card. Do not use your brother's card.
