Basically there are two plans in Mutual Funds. Direct and Regular. Both have the same securities, manager, structure etc. Only difference is that Fund houses pay commissions to agents on sale of regular plans, while there are no commission s on Direct plans. These commissions are counted as expenses towards the funds. The more the expenses the less the return. And these expenses are compounding hence the loss of return is also compounding. Scripbox provides only regular plans where they take commissions(Commission rates mentioned in the link). So while nothing is going from investor's pocket, the investor is taking a sizeable hit in their returns!
How do you differentiate between the two plans? Look for the word 'Direct' in direct plans of mutual funds.
