I want to try Apple Music app on my Android phone. In the app, when trying to sign up the app says that "you need to update your payment method first". It's only giving option of one payment method - credit/debit card. I tried my Visa debit card and Master credit card, but for both of them it's saying "The credit card you entered can't be used with your Apple ID". My Visa card has been working fine with my Spotify subscription.

TLDR - Currently we need to deposit at least ₹100 in our Apple's wallet before we can try Apple Music, according to Apple Support.
I contacted Apple Support. First the person on chat wasted my time (case number 101753668818), then arranged a call back from senior advisor. Then the person on call redirected me to another person. Now this person, she was aware of the issue, she asked me if i use Paytm or Phonepe app in order to buy some voucher for Apple of minimum ₹100. But i told her i want to try the service first b4 commiting, like the way Spotify and YouTube Music give 1 month free trial, or i can pay for a day instead of for a month in order to check out Apple Music, and if i like the service then i can subscribe for an year, but she said upfront ₹100 is compulsory. When i subscribed to Spotify then it automatically created a "standing instruction" on my card, i don't know y Apple doesn't do the same to workaround India's new rules about auto debit.
Then I suggest you contact Apple Support directly. It should not be expecting a credit or debit card at all since none are supported, and should only let you add one of the payment methods above.

Sounds like you have your Apple ID set to a country other than India.

Nope, it's India. I just confirmed via https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage/section/information
But as i said the Apple Music app is only giving me option of 1 payment method: credit/debit card.
