Password-protected PDFs

Convert a password-protected bank statement to Tally

Most banks email statements as password-locked PDFs. You don't need to unlock or re-save the file first — bank2tally opens it with the password you provide, converts it to Tally XML, and keeps nothing.

How it works

Folio 1 Upload the protected PDF and enter its password — usually your PAN, customer ID, or date of birth, in the format your bank specifies.
Folio 2 bank2tally opens the file only to read the transactions and map them to Tally ledgers. The PDF and its password are used in memory and never stored.
Folio 3 Download the Tally XML and import it: Gateway of Tally → Import → Vouchers. Balanced Payment and Receipt vouchers, ready to go.

Works on text-based PDFs from HDFC, SBI, ICICI, Axis and Kotak. Scanned or photographed statements aren't supported yet.

Questions

Can bank2tally convert a password-protected bank statement?

Yes. Enter the PDF's password when you convert and bank2tally opens it, reads the transactions, and returns Tally XML. The file and password are used in memory only and never stored.

What is the password on my bank statement PDF?

It's set by your bank — commonly your PAN, customer ID, or date of birth in a specific format. Check the email your bank sent with the statement; it usually explains the password format.
