There is no broker or a distributor involved in a direct plan. As per rules and regulations issued by the SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India), as a mandate, all mutual fund schemes have to offer the direct plan option to its investors/applicants. On the other hand, enrolment in a Regular Plan involves an agent/broker/distributor and therefore, the expense ratio for a regular plan is slightly higher than a direct plan.
