What we read from the statement

A bank statement PDF normally shows the account and the statement period, an opening and a closing balance, and one row per transaction with a date, a description and an amount, often with a running balance. From that we build the breakdown: where the money went by category, what repeats, and totals in and out. The report is labelled Bank of Baroda when that name is printed near the top of the statement.

Dates and amounts on statements from India

• Dates written as 05/04/2024, 05-04-24, 05.04.2024, 2024-04-05, 05 Apr 2024, 05-Apr-24 or Apr 5, 2024. A date with a month name but no year (05 Apr) takes its year from the statement header.
• Numeric dates are read day first when the statement itself shows it, with dates such as 25/04/2024 where the first number can only be a day; statements from India are normally written that way. A statement whose dates all fall on the 1st to the 12th of the month gives no such clue and is read month first, so check the dates on the report for a short period.
• Amounts with two decimal places, such as 1,234.56 or 1234.56, and lakh and crore grouping such as 1,25,000.00.
• Money out marked with a minus sign (before or after the number), brackets, or a DR suffix; CR marks money in. A statement with separate debit, credit and balance columns is read column by column.

Known limitations

Password-protected PDFs

We cannot open a PDF that asks for a password: the upload fails with "Could not read this PDF". Open it with the password, save or print an unlocked copy as PDF, and upload that. Bank of Baroda says the statement emailed from the bob World app is a password-protected PDF; the article does not give the password format.

Scanned statements

A scan or photo saved as PDF has no text layer, so we read it with OCR on our own server, up to the first 10 pages. OCR can misread a digit; the report says when it was used, so check its totals. A PDF downloaded from online banking is always more reliable.

Size

Up to 25 MB per file and the first 60 pages.

Dates without a year, whole-number amounts

A row whose date is only day and month in numbers (05/04) is not read, and neither is a row whose amount has no decimal part (150000 rather than 150000.00). If most of your rows look like that, the upload will say no transactions were found.

No layout made for this bank

There is no reader built specially for Bank of Baroda. One general reader handles every bank, and the report checks what it found against the opening and closing balances printed on the statement, and says so when they do not add up.

Questions about Bank of Baroda statements

Do you connect to my Bank of Baroda account?

No. You download the statement from Bank of Baroda yourself and upload the PDF. We never ask for your online banking login and cannot see your account.

Is my Bank of Baroda statement stored?

No. The PDF is read in memory and never written to disk. If you buy an export, the rows for the download are kept in your private session so the button works, and are deleted when the session expires, after at most 14 days.

Can I convert a Bank of Baroda statement to Excel or CSV?

Yes. Reading one statement on screen is free. Downloading it as a spreadsheet (a CSV file that Excel opens) needs a statement pack or a plan.

Is a Bank of Baroda statement PDF password-protected?

Bank of Baroda says the statement emailed from the bob World app is a password-protected PDF; the article does not give the password format. We cannot open a locked PDF, so open it with the password, save an unlocked copy, and upload that.

Which currency will the report use?

A statement that prints INR outside the transaction rows is read as Indian rupees. Amounts written with ₹ are read as Indian rupees. If the statement prints no currency at all, the report uses Indian rupees, the home currency of Bank of Baroda, and says that is where it came from.
