In the parlance of instrumental music, is there any marked difference in the structure of gat from that of a bandish?

In Ustad Enayat Khan ‘s time, many gats were composed almost following the base of a bandish, but it was done with abundant use of instrumental technique. Presently, in our gharana a gat is completely following the bols of concerned bandish without the use of plucked bols- i.e.,projecting the melody as it is sung. The structure remains the same as the gat follows the bandish verbatim.
