This is expected behaviour -- you need a credit card linked to Play.

Not a bug.

i can download free apps without credit card. Why not the same with books? And only around 9% of population in India have credit cards.

Then use a debit card?

Indian debit cards are not accepted in Google play store.

What about gift cards?
