Quick answer
For most Canara Bank account statements, e-statements, pass sheets, and e-passbook PDFs, enter the date of birth registered with the bank as:
DDMMYYYY
The example below is deliberately test data:
Date of birth: 15 August 1990 PDF password: 15081990
Do not enter 15/08/1990, 15-08-1990, 15081990 with a trailing space, or a shortened version without leading zeroes.
The information in this guide was checked on 18 September 2026. Canara Bank does not always publish the PDF-password formula prominently on every download page, so the date-of-birth format is both the standard customer-reported pattern and the format consistently associated with Canara Bank statement PDFs. If the PDF was delivered through a different channel, especially WhatsApp Banking, follow the instruction attached to that particular file.
Canara Bank statement password format
The standard format is the registered date of birth written continuously as day, month, and year:
| Document or channel | Password to try | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| E-mailed Canara Bank account statement | Date of birth in DDMMYYYY | Reported consistently |
| Savings-account statement PDF | Date of birth in DDMMYYYY | Reported consistently |
| Current-account statement PDF | Date of birth in DDMMYYYY | Reported consistently |
| Canara Net Banking statement or pass sheet | Date of birth in DDMMYYYY | Reported consistently |
| Canara ai1 e-passbook PDF | Date of birth in DDMMYYYY, when the file is protected | Reported consistently |
| Former Syndicate Bank account statement | Date of birth in DDMMYYYY under Canara Bank rules | Reported consistently |
| Canara WhatsApp Banking attachment | Use the password instruction in the WhatsApp message | Channel-dependent |
| WhatsApp pattern reported by customers | Phone-number digits combined with date of birth | Worth trying only if the message indicates it |
The first six rows describe the usual Canara Bank statement-PDF pattern. The WhatsApp row needs more care: the bank may generate the attachment through a separate delivery workflow, and the password instruction can differ from a statement downloaded through Net Banking or the mobile app.
How to open a Canara Bank statement PDF on a phone
The following method works whether the file was downloaded from Canara ai1, received by e-mail, or saved from a banking message.
- Open the Files, Downloads, or document-management app on your phone.
- Locate the Canara Bank statement PDF.
- Open it with a full PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or the phone's standard document viewer.
- When the password box appears, enter the date of birth recorded in the bank's account profile.
- Use the DDMMYYYY order without punctuation.
- Tap Open, Unlock, or the equivalent button.
For the test example, enter:
15081990
If the document came through WhatsApp Banking, first read the text accompanying the attachment. Do not assume that a Net Banking password rule automatically applies to every WhatsApp-generated file.
If the phone says that the password is incorrect, do not rename the file or repeatedly submit random combinations. Check the troubleshooting section below, then try the file in a dedicated PDF reader.
How to open the PDF on a computer
- Download the statement again from the official Canara Net Banking portal or save the e-mail attachment locally.
- Open the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader or another current PDF application.
- Click the password field.
- Type the date of birth in eight-digit DDMMYYYY form.
- Click Open or press Enter.
Example:
15 August 1990 → 15081990
Avoid copying the password from a formatted document because copied text can include spaces or invisible characters. Typing the eight digits manually is safer.
Canara Bank's web banking service is called Canara Net Banking. The official mobile application is Canara ai1. The statement may be labelled Account Statement, Pass Sheet, or e-Passbook, depending on the channel and the version of the banking interface.
E-passbook, pass sheet, and savings-account statements
Customers use several names for similar documents:
- E-passbook: a digital transaction record, often accessed through Canara ai1 or another digital banking interface.
- Pass sheet: a statement-style transaction record, commonly associated with Net Banking.
- Account statement: a date-range statement that may be downloaded or e-mailed as a PDF.
- Savings-account statement: a statement for a savings account; it normally follows the same standard password pattern.
If any of these files asks for a password, the first password to try is the registered date of birth in DDMMYYYY format. Some versions of a mobile application may export an unprotected PDF, so not every file necessarily requires a password.
The password is not normally a separate password that the customer creates during download. It is generated from information already associated with the account.
Canara Bank WhatsApp statement PDF password
Canara Bank's WhatsApp Banking service uses the official number +91 9076030001. Verify the number in the bank's current website or WhatsApp Banking terms before sharing banking information, because scammers can create similar-looking accounts.
A WhatsApp statement may not use exactly the same password workflow as a PDF downloaded from Canara Net Banking. The safest procedure is:
- Open the WhatsApp message containing the document.
- Read the text immediately above or below the attachment.
- Use the password format specified in that message.
- If the message does not state a format, try the standard registered date of birth in DDMMYYYY.
- If the message specifically refers to a phone-based password, use only the digits and date arrangement described by the bank's message.
A frequently repeated, but not universally documented, pattern for WhatsApp statements combines the last digits of the registered mobile number with the date of birth. For example, the phone number ending in 98765 and the test date of birth 15081990 may be shown in a customer instruction as a combined key. This is test data and an example only, not a guaranteed formula for every WhatsApp file.
Canara Bank's public WhatsApp terms identify the service, but the exact password can depend on the delivery workflow. Treat the instruction attached to the individual message as authoritative.
Syndicate Bank accounts after the merger
Syndicate Bank was amalgamated with Canara Bank on 1 April 2020. Customers with former Syndicate Bank accounts now use Canara Bank's digital banking services and statement systems.
The migration affected account administration and account-number formats. Former Syndicate customers should use the Canara Bank account details supplied after migration rather than assuming that an old Syndicate account-number format will work in Canara Net Banking.
For a statement generated under the current Canara Bank system, the usual PDF password is the date of birth in DDMMYYYY format. The merger does not create a separate “Syndicate password” for a current Canara Bank statement.
Canara bank statement password kya hota hai?
The Canara Bank statement password is usually the customer's registered date of birth written as eight digits in DDMMYYYY order. For example, a birth date of 15 August 1990 becomes 15081990.
This applies to many Canara Bank statement, pass-sheet, and e-passbook PDFs. If the file was delivered through WhatsApp Banking or a special channel, read the delivery message because that channel may provide a different instruction.
Why the Canara Bank PDF password does not work
The date order is wrong
Indian date notation is commonly written as day/month/year, but the PDF password must usually be entered as eight uninterrupted digits:
Correct: 15081990 Incorrect: 08151990
Punctuation or spaces were included
Remove all formatting characters:
Correct: 15081990 Incorrect: 15/08/1990 Incorrect: 15-08-1990 Incorrect: 15 08 1990
A leading zero was omitted
A single-digit day or month still needs two digits. For 7 February 1990, the password is:
07021990
Not:
721990
The bank has a different date of birth
The PDF is generated from the date of birth stored in Canara Bank's customer record. If the bank's record contains a clerical error, the date printed on an identity document or the customer's actual birthday may not unlock the file.
Check the information recorded in the account profile. Do not guess another person's date of birth for a joint account without first checking which customer record the statement system uses.
The file belongs to another account holder
A joint-account statement, family member's statement, or business statement may be linked to a different customer profile. Confirm whose account generated the document and use the relevant registered details.
The PDF reader is the problem
Some browser previews and basic mobile file managers handle protected PDFs poorly. Download the file completely and open it with a current standalone PDF application. Do not rely only on an in-browser preview.
The document is incomplete or damaged
A partially downloaded attachment can display a misleading password error. Delete the incomplete copy, download it again from the original banking channel, and check that the file size is not zero or unusually small.
The statement came from WhatsApp Banking
A WhatsApp attachment may use a channel-specific instruction. Read the message accompanying the file before applying the standard Net Banking formula.
Can the Canara Bank statement PDF password be reset or changed?
There is normally no customer setting for resetting or customizing the password of an exported statement PDF. The password is generated from account data when the statement is created; it is not the same as the Canara Net Banking login password, mobile-app passcode, or transaction MPIN.
If the date of birth in the bank's records is wrong, the underlying customer information must be corrected through Canara Bank's approved KYC or account-maintenance process. Changing the login password will not change the password of an already downloaded PDF.
For unresolved access problems, contact Canara Bank through an official channel. The customer-care number commonly provided for Canara Bank support is 1800-425-0018. Confirm the current number on the bank's official contact page before calling, and never disclose an OTP, full PIN, or Net Banking password to a caller.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Canara Bank statement password in 2026?
For the standard protected statement PDF, use the registered date of birth in DDMMYYYY format. The format was last checked for this guide on 18 September 2026. Channel-specific files, particularly WhatsApp attachments, may display their own password instructions.
What is the Canara Bank PDF password format?
The normal format is eight digits: day, month, and year. A birth date of 15 August 1990 becomes 15081990, with no spaces, slashes, or hyphens.
How do I open a Canara Bank statement PDF?
Open the file in a PDF reader and enter the registered date of birth as DDMMYYYY. If it fails, check leading zeroes, remove punctuation, download the file again, and try a standalone PDF reader.
What is the Canara Bank saving-account statement password?
A savings-account statement normally uses the same date-of-birth format as other standard Canara Bank statement PDFs. Enter the registered date of birth as eight digits in DDMMYYYY order.
What is the Canara e-passbook statement password?
If a Canara e-passbook PDF is password-protected, first try the registered date of birth in DDMMYYYY format. Some app versions may create an unprotected export, while others may provide a password instruction with the file.
Does Canara WhatsApp Banking use the same password?
Not always. The WhatsApp message may specify a channel-specific password, and some customer reports describe a combination involving mobile-number digits and date of birth. Follow the instruction attached to the individual WhatsApp document.
Can I reset or change the statement PDF password?
Usually, no. The password is generated from customer information stored by the bank rather than selected by the customer. If the recorded date of birth is wrong, ask Canara Bank to correct the underlying account record.
Does the Syndicate Bank merger change the PDF password?
Former Syndicate Bank accounts now operate under Canara Bank's systems following the 1 April 2020 merger. Current statements generally use the Canara Bank date-of-birth format, DDMMYYYY, rather than a separate Syndicate Bank password.
