Your entire transaction history for the month is chronologically documented in the account statement, making it a helpful document for money tracking, and monitoring your income and expenses for a particular period.

If you have an IDFC FIRST Bank savings account, you can easily download your monthly account statements online. Simply log in to your mobile or internet banking profile and follow simple steps to get the IDFC FIRST Bank savings account statement at your registered email ID.

Bank statement overview


The bank account statement will have your customer ID and account number on top, along with the statement period. It will also usually have your name, address, email ID, phone number, IFSC and MICR codes, date of opening the account, account status, account type, and the applicable currency.

You can refer to your account statement to get an overview of your IDFC FIRST Bank savings account-related information. A summary of the opening balance, total debits, total credits, and closing balance will be available as a bank statement overview in a tabular format. This is followed by a detailed table that contains the transaction history for your statement period, making money tracking easier. 

Bank statements make it easier to track your account activities and draft a better financial plan.

Every transaction specifies the transaction date, the value, the particulars of the transaction, and the cheque number if any. The transaction’s corresponding debit or credit value is available along with the revised balance at the end of each transaction.

These, in brief, are the steps to view the bank statement.

Key features and benefits of a bank statement


What is the importance of having a monthly savings account statement? Well, your bank statement is useful for money tracking. If you monitor your bank deposits and withdrawals carefully and regularly, you will always have your monthly budget under control.

Your monthly account statement also serves as proof of income. If you apply for a loan, the lending bank often asks for the bank statement as a supporting document. A bank statement is also routinely asked for while applying for a visa for overseas travel.

You can use the transaction summary available in the bank statement to calculate your total income during the financial year. Referring to these statements makes Income Tax Return filing an easier exercise.
