I am unable to download and install any free apps using App Store. I am asked to sign in and compulsorily enter the payment information. How to skip the payment section and log in to continue installing the app?
Also i tried to give my debit details as the payment card which was again not accepted.

You unfortunately must create a new Apple ID as part of the initial process of acquiring a free app in order to bypass the payment method. You cannot do it with an older Apple ID.

The only debit cards that Apple accepts are VISA/MasterCard service marked ATM/debit cards directly tied to your bank account in a bank in the same country as the MAS from which you wish to buy apps, with a verifiable billing address in that same country.
