What an IDFC FIRST e-statement PDF looks like
IDFC FIRST Bank statements downloaded from NetBanking follow a clean, consistent layout. The header carries the account details; the body is a transaction table:
- Month-name dates. Dates print as 02-May-2025 — unique among the banks we tested and immune to day/month confusion.
- Transaction table — Date, Value Date, Particulars, Cheque/Ref No., Deposit, Debit, Credit, Balance.
- No password — the IDFC statement we tested opened directly with no encryption.
Month-name dates — and A2A transfers in the mix
Two IDFC-specific details that matter when you're converting:
- 02-May-2025, not 02/05/2025. Month-name dates remove the ambiguity that dd/MM vs MM/dd statements create. The converter reads them straight into Tally's YYYYMMDD format.
- A2A transfers appear. The tested file included A2A/… (account-to-account) rows alongside UPI, NEFT, RTGS, IMPS and POS — the prefix in Particulars makes ledger mapping straightforward.
- Closing balance row. The statement closes with a balance figure; match it against the last converted row as a sanity check.
Transaction date vs. value date
IDFC also prints a Value Date. Book the voucher on the transaction date; the value date matters only if you reconcile against the bank's clearing cycle.
