IDFC First Bank Passbook: How to Get and Update

IDFC First Bank provides a physical passbook to savings account holders at account opening. You can get it updated at any IDFC First Bank branch or use the digital passbook feature in the IDFC FIRST Bank app for a paperless option.

How to Get Your First Passbook

When you open a savings account at an IDFC First Bank branch, a passbook is issued at the time of account opening. If you opened the account online, you can request a passbook by visiting your nearest branch with valid ID.

How to Update Your Passbook

1. Visit any IDFC First Bank branch (it does not have to be your home branch).
2. Go to the passbook update counter or a self-service kiosk if available.
3. Insert your passbook when prompted.
4. All recent transactions will be printed automatically.

Passbook update is free of charge.

Digital Passbook on the App

If you prefer not to carry a physical passbook, the IDFC FIRST Bank app offers a digital transaction view:

1. Log in to the app.
2. Tap on your account.
3. View your transaction history sorted by date.
4. Download a PDF statement for any period as needed.

Passbook vs Account Statement

• A passbook is a physical record you carry and update at the branch.
• An account statement is a detailed digital or printed document generated for a specific date range.
• For most official purposes (visa, loans), a downloaded account statement is preferred over a passbook.

Key Takeaways

• Physical passbooks are issued at branch opening and updated free at any branch.
• The IDFC FIRST Bank app provides a digital alternative with full transaction history.
• For official documentation, use a downloaded PDF statement rather than the passbook.

FAQ

Can I get a duplicate passbook if I lose mine?

Yes. Visit an IDFC First Bank branch with your account details and a valid ID. A duplicate passbook is issued, sometimes with a nominal fee. Check with your branch.

How often should I update my passbook?

There is no set frequency. Update it whenever you want a current printed record. Digital alternatives through the app make frequent passbook updates less necessary.

Does IDFC First Bank offer a passbook for current accounts?

Current accounts typically use account statements rather than passbooks. If you need transaction records, download a statement through net banking or contact your relationship manager.
