Hi Abhi1976,
Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other.
Wondering if you tried logged in to the App Store with your Apple ID ?
Your Apple ID is the account to use for adding a payment method to use for everything Apple.
including iTunes, App Store, iCloud, subscriptions etc.
It seems Apple require you to have a payment method in your Apple ID for the first time you use iTunes and the App Store, even if you are downloading a free (Get) App.
The links below are to Apple Support articles, that can guide you, if you wish.
First: Check the payment methods that you can use with your Apple ID:
