One may also choose to invest online through the websites of the respective Mutual Funds.
Further, one may invest with the help of / through a financial intermediary i.e., a Mutual Fund Distributor registered with AMFI OR choose to invest directly i.e., without involving or routing the investment through any distributor.
A Mutual Fund Distributor may be an individual or a non-individual entity, such as bank, brokering house or on-line distribution channel provider.
One can choose to invest online, as platforms these days have all necessary safeguards to ensure secure investing. It is really more a matter of comfort and convenience.
