How they differ
Custody
Both run NSDL depository participants: Grip (DP ID IN304877) and Wint (DP ID IN304633). Grip offers its demat during onboarding and supports non-Grip demats when you sell. Wint users report that a Wint demat has been required since Oct 2024, which some say affected BSDA status on their existing demat.
Exit terms side by side
Grip's Sell Bonds Anytime opens after a minimum holding of about 2 months, settles in 1 working day and carries a 0.25% charge adjusted in the price the buyer offers. Grip says it cannot guarantee an immediate sale. Wint's terms let it sell your bond at a YTM up to 1% lower than you bought at, with the amount varying by investor at Wint's sole discretion, and only for bonds held in the Wint demat. Grip's cost is a fixed percentage; Wint's rupee cost is not stated in advance.
Fees on purchase
Grip's FAQ promises no hidden fees. Wint does not itemise charges; Inc42 reported a commission of roughly 1% per bond in May 2026. Neither publishes the spread inside the yield shown.
Shelf
Grip advertises returns up to 12.5% and sells corporate bonds plus securitised debt instruments (LoanX, InvoiceX and LeaseX), debt funds and corporate FDs. One Grip-linked lease pool, PIRG SDI 4 Trust, held a CRISIL BB- (SO) rating reaffirmed on 12th Mar 2025 after a lessee stopped paying. Wint sells corporate bonds and FDs and publishes no rating range; a BBB+ bond was posted from Wint on TradingQnA in Apr 2026.
Minimums, NRIs and support
Grip's own pages conflict on the minimum (₹100 on one, ₹1,000 on another); Wint advertises ₹1,000. Grip's KYC rules exclude NRIs; Wint's NRI terms were not verified. Grip supports by email and chat with replies in 24 to 48 business hours and no phone line. Wint uses WhatsApp and email, and its listed numbers do not take incoming calls.
Record
SEBI fined Wint ₹1 lakh on 21st Nov 2025 for settling 67.61% of trade value off the RFQ platform. No SEBI or exchange penalty against Grip Broking was found. Both are enabled on NSE only.
