IDFC FIRST Bank statement PDF to Excel & Tally XML

Convert IDFC FIRST Bank (IDFC FIRST) bank statement PDFs with Jemsky’s dedicated parser — not a renamed homepage and not generic OCR. This page documents the layouts we actually ship, the quirks that break other converters, and examples CAs see in the wild.

IDFC FIRST Bank statements look similar to other private-bank grids until you mix them up with IDBI or Indian Bank — the IFSC prefixes IDFB, IBKL, and IDIB are different institutions. Jemsky keys IDFC FIRST on idfc first bank, idfcfirstbank.com, and IDFB0.

Smart Summary downloads from the app are a different layout (Category + Amount, no balance) and must not be parsed as a Kotak or HDFC grid just because a NEFT row mentions KKBK or HDFC0.

Tally XML Payment/Receipt export is available after conversion; Smart Summary files will not have a bank-printed running-balance audit.

Statement formats the IDFC FIRST parser recognizes

IDFC FIRST / IDFB0 e-statement with timestamped rows and typed debit/credit amounts
Smart Summary app/net-banking download: Date, Payment Type, Transaction Name, Category, Amount (no running balance)

Parser quirks specific to IDFC FIRST

Identity is idfc first bank, idfcfirstbank.com, or IFSC IDFB0 — not generic ‘IDFC’ in a narration of another bank.
Smart Summary is not an official statement: Category Payments = withdrawal, Income+ = deposit; no printed running balance.
NEFT narrations may contain counterparty IFSC (KKBK, HDFC0) and must not route the file to Kotak or HDFC.

Example narrations and how they export

IDFB0 IFSC — Routes to IDFC FIRST, not IDBI (IBKL) or Indian Bank (IDIB).
Smart Summary / Income + ₹65,386.81 — Single amount column; plus/Income maps to deposit.

CA workflow on IDFC FIRST files

If the PDF title is Smart Summary, expect transactions without a bank-printed running balance. Confirm the PDF says IDFC FIRST, not IDBI. Then convert, filter UPI in Excel, and post Tally XML with mapping rules for recurring merchants.

Exports and privacy

Every successful convert can download Excel (.xlsx), CSV, and TallyPrime / Tally.ERP 9 Payment and Receipt XML. Customer statement bytes never land in Jemsky’s database. Optional Tally Party Ledger Masters store ledger names you import — not this bank’s PDF.

Open the converter and upload the IDFC FIRST PDF.
Leave Auto Detect on unless you know the exact layout name.
Confirm the financial audit equation matches the printed closing balance.
Export Excel for the working paper and/or Tally XML.
