HDFC Bank Statement PDF Password — Complete Guide 2026
📅 Oct 2026🕑 7 min read👤 PDF Vault Team🇮🇳 India
⚡ Quick Answer
The password for your HDFC Bank statement PDF is your Date of Birth in DDMMYYYY format.
Example: Born on 15 March 1995 → Password is 15031995
Every HDFC Bank statement downloaded from net banking or the HDFC ONE app arrives as a password-protected PDF. This is a security measure so that only the account holder can open the file. The good news: once you know the format, you'll never forget it.
This guide covers the exact password format, how to find it if you're unsure of your registered date of birth, how to open HDFC statements on all devices, and how to remove the password when you need to submit it for a loan, visa, or government portal.
The HDFC Bank Statement PDF Password Format
HDFC uses a single, consistent password format for all account statement PDFs:
Password = DDMMYYYY
DD = Day (2 digits) | MM = Month (2 digits) | YYYY = Year (4 digits)
DD = Day (2 digits) | MM = Month (2 digits) | YYYY = Year (4 digits)
This is your Date of Birth as registered with HDFC Bank at account opening, written in day-month-year order with no spaces, slashes, or hyphens.
Password Examples by Birth Date
| Date of Birth | PDF Password | Common Mistake |
|---|---|---|
| 1 January 1990 | 01011990 | 1011990 (missing leading zero) |
| 15 March 1995 | 15031995 | 15/03/1995 (slashes not allowed) |
| 5 July 1988 | 05071988 | 5071988 (single digit day) |
| 31 December 2000 | 31122000 | 31-12-2000 (hyphens not allowed) |
| 20 August 1975 | 20081975 | 20/08/75 (2-digit year) |
⚠ Always use 2-digit day and month. January = 01, not 1. The 5th = 05, not 5. Using single digits is the most common reason the password fails.

Yes. HDFC credit card statement PDFs also use DOB in DDMMYYYY format as the password — same as savings and salary account statements.
My HDFC statement password is not working. What do I do? ▼
Check: (1) You're using 2-digit day and month (01, not 1). (2) You're using the DOB registered with HDFC, not your actual DOB if they differ. (3) The file downloaded completely. Re-download if unsure. (4) For joint accounts, use the primary holder's DOB.

Use our Unlock PDF tool. Upload the HDFC statement, enter your DOB password once, and download the unlocked version. The unlocked PDF can be opened on any device without a password.

How to compress HDFC statement PDF for loan application? ▼

Is it safe to upload my HDFC statement to PDF Vault? ▼
Completely safe. PDF Vault processes all files entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your bank statement is never uploaded to any server. Not even we can see your file. This is the core promise of PDF Vault: files never stored.
What is the password for HDFC Fixed Deposit receipt PDF? ▼
HDFC FD receipt PDFs emailed to you are usually password protected with the same DOB in DDMMYYYY format. If you received an FD receipt via email that won't open, try your DOB in DDMMYYYY format first.

No. The password is always your Date of Birth in DDMMYYYY — it never changes unless your registered DOB with HDFC is updated (which is rare and requires branch visit with documents).
