@Manash Ranjan Mahanty Thank you for contacting us on Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to help!
Please be informed, only Credit/Debit card is accepted as valid payment method for Azure subscriptions. Please use a valid Credit/Debit card which has international transaction enabled.
Virtual or pre-paid credit or debit cards aren't accepted as Payment for Azure subscriptions and unfortunately you won’t be able to sign-up for an Azure subscription without using a Credit card. Also, American Express (AMEX) is no longer supported as a Payment Instrument for Azure accounts.
