Import HDFC Bank statements into Tally

HDFC e-statements arrive as password-protected PDFs with Dr/Cr amounts and lakh-grouped figures — three obstacles between you and a Tally import. Conversion clears all three at once.

Convert the statement first

1. Upload the HDFC PDF to the converter and enter the statement password (the covering email states the format). The password opens the file and is never stored.
2. Dr/Cr markers become signed amounts, lakh grouping (1,23,456.78) becomes standard decimals, DD-MM-YYYY dates become ISO — and the statement is reconciled against its printed opening and closing balances.
3. Download the Excel export — clean, typed columns.

Import into Tally

1. In TallyPrime, use the bank statement import on the relevant bank ledger, or your practice's Excel import route.
2. The exported columns — date, description, amount, balance — line up with what the import expects; UPI/NEFT/IMPS narrations are intact for matching.
3. Verify the closing balance against the statement — it will match, because the conversion had to reconcile before export.

HDFC-specific notes

• Narrations are everything in Indian bookkeeping: the full UPI/NEFT reference survives on every row, so receipts match invoices without guesswork.
• Volume is fine: statements dense with small UPI entries convert with every row captured — the balance check guarantees nothing was dropped.
