Dear Suresh, Kindly note that Scripbox is not a MF fund house. It is just an online platform for investing in MFs. Let me list out the ways you can buy Mutual fund schemes ;
  • You can buy through Mutual fund house websites. There will not be any cost involved (transaction cost) here. 
  • You can buy through banks or mutual fund advisors or agents. They may charge some subscription or service fee.
  • CAMS or Karvy can be another option.
  • Online platforms like Fundsindia, Scripbox etc (Fundsindia wont charge anything from Customers. But you can not invest in direct plans.)
  • MF utility online platform for investing in Direct plans of MF Schemes. This is an industry sponsored platform. No cost is involved.
