Convert a State Bank of India bank statement to Excel
Convert a State Bank of India statement PDF to Excel or CSV right in your browser — date, description, amount and balance are detected automatically, with a row-by-row balance check, and your statement is never uploaded. State Bank of India statements use this layout: A State Bank of India account statement lists Txn Date, Value Date, Description, Ref No./Cheque No., Debit, Credit and Balance per row — debit and credit in separate columns, dates as DD MMM YYYY like '15 Mar 2024', commonly seen in PDFs exported from YONO. Text-based PDFs downloaded from State Bank of India online banking convert most accurately.
Drop your bank statement PDFs (multiple allowed) and StatementSift detects the date/description/amount/balance columns locally and reconciles row by row. Financial data is never uploaded or sent to any external AI. Text-based PDFs (from online banking) work best.
How we read a State Bank of India statement
- Columns：A State Bank of India account statement lists Txn Date, Value Date, Description, Ref No./Cheque No., Debit, Credit and Balance per row — debit and credit in separate columns, dates as DD MMM YYYY like '15 Mar 2024', commonly seen in PDFs exported from YONO.
- Date format：DD MMM YYYY
- Best source：Use the SBI YONO app or OnlineSBI, open Account Statement, generate and download the official text-based PDF (usually password-protected) for your account and period — avoid screenshots or scans, as OCR on SBI scans often shifts the Debit/Credit values out of line with the Balance.
Watch-outs for State Bank of India statements
- State Bank of India splits money in and out into two separate columns (withdrawals/debits and deposits/credits). The converter merges them into one signed amount so the balance check can run; double-check that a credit didn't get the wrong sign on any flagged row.
- Multi-line descriptions (a long merchant name wrapped onto two lines) are the most common cause of a shifted row — if a row doesn't reconcile, that's the first thing to check.
- Transactions that carry over a page break, and the opening/closing balance lines, are handled separately from regular rows; verify the first and last rows of each page after a multi-page statement.
