ICICI Bank emails and downloads account statements as password-protected PDFs. The password is derived from details the bank already has — first 4 letters of name (caps) + ddmm of birth — not from your netbanking login. That protection becomes a problem the moment a portal needs the file: loan underwriters, visa centres, GST filings, and rental agents all reject password-protected uploads. The fix is to open the statement once with the documented password and save an unlocked copy. CrispPDF does that locally in your browser, so a document containing every transaction you have made never leaves your device.
// FAQ
ICICI e-statements use the first four letters of your name in capitals plus your date of birth in DDMM format, for example AMIT0912 for Amit Verma born 9 December. ICICI credit-card statements often use DDMMYYYY instead.
Usually your date of birth in DDMMYYYY (09121995). If your account is a corporate card, check the covering email — ICICI states the exact format there.
No. The PDF password is generated from your name and date of birth — you never need netbanking credentials, and CrispPDF never asks for them.
Yes — it is your own document and you know the password. CrispPDF only removes the open-password; it does not alter the transactions or the bank's digital signature. Because processing is local, nothing is transmitted anywhere.
Yes. After unlocking, use Extract PDF Pages to keep only the months you need, then Compress PDF if the portal has a size cap (500 KB is common).
No. There is no upload. The unlock happens entirely inside your browser tab and the file is gone the moment you close it.
