How to remove the password from a bank statement PDF
Updated 2026-10-07
What the password usually is
Banks in India typically use a combination such as the first letters of your name plus your date of birth, your customer ID, or part of your PAN. The exact rule is written in the email that brought the statement.
Steps
- Open Unlock PDF.
- Add the statement and type its password.
- Press “Unlock PDF” and download the unlocked copy.
Why unlock it?
An unlocked copy opens without a password, and you can merge several months into one file, compress it for a loan application, or convert it to Excel to analyse spending.
Privacy
Statements contain your account number and every transaction. DiscreteDocs unlocks the file inside your browser — it is never uploaded anywhere.
What we can't do
If you don't know the password, the file can't be opened — we don't crack passwords. Ask your bank for the rule or a new statement.
