    If I had to rank by cost from least to most, it would be:

    1. Direct from AMC
    2. FundsIndia.com
    3. Through brokerage account
    4. Through bank w/ investment account
    5. Investment Advisor

    Hi Manish,

    I suggest FundsIndia since there are no Annual maintenance charges.

    Other brokerage houses like HDFC,ICICI direct will have annual maintenance charges.

    Moreover service quality is almost same.

    Regards
