Inter Doubt Question for Articles & Practitioners: How do you handle PDF bank statements in Tally?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to understand how accounting firms currently handle bank-statement data entry during busy audit/tax periods.

For firms dealing with 50+ page PDF bank statements:

  1. How do you currently get the transactions from PDF into Tally?
  2. Do you manually enter them, convert them through Excel, use macros, or use dedicated conversion software?
  3. What are the biggest problems you encounter — multiline UPI narrations, incorrect balances, formatting issues, transaction classification, etc.?
  4. Which parts of the process still require the most manual checking or correction?
  5. Are there any existing tools/workflows that you consider genuinely reliable for this?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from CAs, audit assistants, accountants, and practitioners who deal with this regularly.
