Read the SBI source layout correctly

Printed structure: Plain-text-style PDF with Txn Date, Value Date, Description, Ref/Cheque No., Debit, Credit, Balance

Date notation: DD MMM YYYY. Money notation: ₹ INR. Observed statement size: 20–150 pages for active savings accounts.

Amounts use the Indian lakh/crore grouping (e.g. 1,00,000 and 1,00,00,000), which generic parsers misread as different numbers; ClearlyLedger normalises them to plain decimals.

Fields and row patterns found in State Bank of India PDFs

The profile uses the bank-specific observations below as review checkpoints. They describe the source document rather than making a generic promise about every PDF:

  • SBI checkpoint 1: Date format mixes spaces and abbreviated months (e.g. 14 Jan 2026)
  • SBI checkpoint 2: Narrations include branch codes and transaction types (TO TRANSFER, BY CASH)
  • SBI checkpoint 3: Long statements often span 100+ pages with repeated headers
  • SBI checkpoint 4: Opening balance line appears as a standalone row, not in the transaction table

Review the SBI extraction

A typical State Bank of India file runs 20–150 pages for active savings accounts. Confirm its DD MMM YYYY dates, INR signs, first and final transactions, and page boundaries. Balance review is especially important on this layout. Date format mixes spaces and abbreviated months (e.g. 14 Jan 2026). The PDF remains the source; the spreadsheet is the reviewable working copy.

  1. Upload the State Bank of India PDF.
  2. Inspect the documented SBI row patterns.
  3. Reconcile the INR transaction math.
  4. Download verified SBI Excel or CSV data.

Use the SBI output in India

Excel suits source-document review and coding. CSV suits mapped imports into Zoho Books, Tally, QuickBooks or Busy. Those routes preserve the DD MMM YYYY interpretation and INR values established from the State Bank of India source.

SBI privacy and retention

The SBI PDF is processed in memory and deleted after conversion. The SBI transaction data is not used to train AI models. TLS protects the upload in transit, while the workflow is designed around India's DPDP Act 2023 for India account holders.
