It is a digital version of your last month’s transactions using the card. SBI delivers monthly e-statements to your registered email as a credit card bill and due date reminder.

In case you want to get a physical hard copy of your statement for a period older than 2 months, the SBI may have nominal charges of ₹100 + GST for each statement. Moreover, RBI encourages users to use digital statements to promote faster access and reduce paper usage.
