What a BoB e-statement PDF looks like
Bank of Baroda statements downloaded from NetBanking follow a consistent layout. The header carries the account details; the body is a transaction table:
- Account details — customer name, branch and statement period at the top; dates in dd/MM/yyyy format.
- Transaction table — six columns: Date, Description, Cheque/Ref No., Debit, Credit, Balance.
- No password — the BoB statements we tested, downloaded from NetBanking, opened directly with no encryption.
'Description' — and a payment-type prefix on every row
Two things to know before you convert a BoB statement:
- The column is called Description. Most banks use 'Narration' or 'Particulars'; BoB uses Description. The converter reads the actual header, so this never causes a missed column.
- Every row leads with the payment type. Descriptions start with UPI/…, NEFT/…, ATM/… or ACH/… — a reliable way to categorize transactions while you map ledgers in Tally.
Long statements are fine
BoB files can run to ten pages or more for a busy account. The converter processes long statements page by page — longer files just use more of your page quota.
Convert a BoB statement in three steps
Upload your BoB statement PDF

Preview the extracted transactions
BoB labels its description column 'Description'. Check the rows — the UPI, NEFT, ATM and ACH prefixes at the start of each description help you spot the payment type at a glance.
