I have few question regarding this

2) Is it given every quarter?
3) will it wise decision if i switch to direct from regular?

My investment period is 30 Year or above.

1) Commision gets paid continuously - generally around 0.5-1% per year extra for regular funds. You can check the difference between regular and direct schemes of the same fund. Compare expenses and returns.
2) Probably every day, just guessing but why does it matter ?
3) If you are not getting any needed advice then absolutely no reason to pay so much money. Over 30 years you would end paying a lot to your broker for doing nothing. As your money compounds so will your fees.
Just do a google search "impact of expense on etf returns" and see the difference over longer term.
