Paying through Credit Card is not available for most of the AMCs I believe. Even you wouldn't get any option to pay through your Debit Card as well I think. The only options are Net Banking/UPI if I'm not wrong.

SEBI has banned using all forms of credit for all kinds of investments. So, there is absolutely no way to do it directly. Using rent option to transfer money to your own account is a bit scammy and might get under scrutiny. Do at your own risk. Moreover, you lose some money in this process as commission to the rentpay agent and GST. You might recover some money back as the CC benefits or milestone benefits, but unless you're really bad with the investments, you should get more benefit by investing all that money directly into the fund from the account.
 
Debit card option is there at few places. In fact, hdfc platinum debit card even gives 1% cashback on billpay auto sip payments.
Some brokers, namly SAMCO even allows transferring money to trading account using Debit card, but it's trading account and you need to do the "investment/trading" part yourself.
 
How to do that?
The only method ik is using rent payment option pay rent using credit card to your own bank account. Or by adding money in paytm wallet and then transferring it to your bank account.( Charges will be applied for both wallet and rent payment). Still i don't know how to do it for free. Earlier you can add money in paytm wallet for free by just using Zomato. Now i don't know if it is working or not.
