Regarding the site to use for investing in MF, I do all my investments on-line by registering in the individual fund houses and obtaining Log in ID and password. Here I get benefit of Direct investment which does not go through a broker eliminating initial lumpsum and trail brokerage.....it makes a large difference when the investment increases over the years.
If you get Direct investment from any broker site that is also fine but make sure your investment is in Direct scheme of the fund and not in Regular scheme ( regular means the broker gets the brokerage and trail commissions.)
