SBI changed its e-statement password scheme during 2026, so older guides you find elsewhere may describe a format the bank no longer uses. Trust the covering email over any article, including this one.
Step by step
- Find the email or SMS that delivered your State Bank of India statement — it states the password rule.
- Try the pattern shown above first.
- Enter it with no spaces, in lower case unless the bank specifies otherwise.
- If it's rejected, work through the alternatives below — the rule often differs between net banking, the app and emailed statements.
- Upload the locked PDF as-is to convert it. You'll be prompted for the password, it unlocks in your browser, and it's never sent to us.
Which SBI channel did your statement come from?
SBI is the one bank here where the answer genuinely depends on where you got the file, and most of the frustration people report comes from applying the wrong channel's rule. A statement pulled from Internet Banking is normally protected with the account number itself: the full number, no spaces, exactly as it appears on the statement header.
A statement generated in the YONO app, or one emailed to you under the e-statement service, usually follows the date-of-birth pattern instead. If you registered a different date of birth with the bank than the one you use day to day, which is common where a school certificate date differs from an official record, it is the bank's recorded date that counts.
SBI also revised this scheme during 2026, which is why older articles confidently describe formats that no longer work. If none of the patterns open the file, the statement email is definitive, and SBI's own customer support can confirm the rule for your account type.
What a State Bank of India statement looks like
SBI (State Bank of India) is the country's largest bank by far, and its e-statement PDF comes locked with a password you set.
An SBI statement pairs a transaction date with a separate value date on every line, and the e-statement downloads as a password-locked PDF.

Removing the password by re-saving or printing to PDF tends to flatten the text into an image — it makes extraction worse, not better.

Yes. Depends where the statement came from. From net banking, the password is usually your account number. From the YONO app or an emailed statement, it is usually your date of birth as DDMMYYYY.
