How they differ

Custody

Grip's NSDL demat (DP ID IN304877) is offered at onboarding, and Grip supports other demats when you sell. Stable Broking opens a CDSL demat for clients through its own depository participant.

Exit compared

Grip: Sell Bonds Anytime after about 2 months, a 0.25% charge adjusted in the buyer's price, settlement in 1 working day, and no guarantee of an immediate sale. Stable: the homepage promises selling anytime with zero exit fee, while the terms say a sale is not guaranteed, some bonds carry lock-ins set by Stable, a penalty-free period may apply after purchase with a spread or penalty possible later, a DDPI is required, and the option can be switched off on negative issuer news or near a record date.

Pricing

Grip promises no hidden fees on purchase. Stable advertises zero brokerage, and its terms say the struck-off Additional YTM comes from a brokerage waiver; a third-party review says Stable earns a spread inside the price. Neither publishes its spread.

Shelf

Grip advertises returns up to 12.5% and sells corporate bonds and securitised debt; a Grip-linked lease pool held a CRISIL BB- (SO) rating in Mar 2025. Stable's live list on 17th Oct 2026 ran from 4.75% to 11.90%, with PSU and state government bonds and mostly NBFC and MFI issuers.

Minimums, NRIs and support

Grip's pages show ₹100 and ₹1,000. Stable advertises ₹100, but its cheapest live bonds on 17th Oct 2026 were close to ₹10,000. Grip excludes NRIs; Stable's NRI terms were not verified. Grip supports by email and chat only; Stable lists a toll-free number and WhatsApp.

Record

No SEBI or exchange penalty was found against either. Both are enabled on NSE; Stable closed its BSE OBPP business from 27th Nov 2025, and Grip was never on BSE.

Questions people ask

Is selling really free on Stable Bonds?

Stable advertises zero exit fee, but its terms say a penalty-free period may apply after purchase, a spread or penalty may apply afterwards, and any sale depends on a buyer being available.

Does Grip guarantee that I can sell?

No. Grip says it cannot guarantee an immediate sale through Sell Bonds Anytime, which opens after about 2 months and costs 0.25%.

Do I need a new demat on Grip or Stable Bonds?

Stable opens a CDSL demat for you. Grip offers its own demat but supports other demats for selling.
