Overview CAS Parser extracts structured data from Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) PDFs issued by Indian depositories and registrars.
Supported CAS types Source Format Password Coverage CDSL eCAS from www.cdslindia.com/cas/logincas.aspx Encrypted PAN All holdings (CDSL + NSDL) NSDL eCAS from nsdlcas.nsdl.com/ecas/ecas.php Encrypted PAN All holdings (NSDL + CDSL) CAMS CAS from camsonline.com PAN number Mutual funds only KFintech CAS from kfintech.com PAN number Mutual funds only
Use /v4/smart/parse — it auto-detects the CAS type and applies the correct parser.
Cross-depository coverage: CDSL and NSDL eCAS statements contain holdings from both depositories (CDSL + NSDL), not just the issuing depository. This includes demat and non-demat assets across all accounts.
Parse a PDF file import requests response = requests.post( "https://api.casparser.in/v4/smart/parse" , headers = { "x-api-key" : "YOUR_API_KEY" }, files = { "file" : open ( "cas.pdf" , "rb" )}, data = { "password" : "ABCDE1234F" } ) data = response.json()
Parse from URL If your CAS PDF is hosted online:
response = requests.post( "https://api.casparser.in/v4/smart/parse" , headers = { "x-api-key" : "YOUR_API_KEY" , "Content-Type" : "application/json" }, json = { "pdf_url" : "https://example.com/cas.pdf" , "password" : "ABCDE1234F" } )
All CAS types return a unified JSON structure:
{ "meta" : { "cas_type" : "CDSL" , "statement_period" : { "from" : "2024-01-01" , "to" : "2024-01-31" }, "generated_at" : "2024-02-01T10:30:00Z" }, "investor" : { "name" : "John Doe" , "pan" : "ABCDE1234F" , "email" : "john@example.com" , "mobile" : "9876543210" , "address" : "123 Main St, Mumbai" , "pincode" : "400001" , "cas_id" : "CAS123456" }, "summary" : { "total_value" : 2500000.00 , "accounts" : { "demat" : { "count" : 2 , "total_value" : 1500000.00 }, "mutual_funds" : { "count" : 5 , "total_value" : 900000.00 }, "insurance" : { "count" : 1 , "total_value" : 50000.00 }, "nps" : { "count" : 1 , "total_value" : 50000.00 } } }, "demat_accounts" : [ { "demat_type" : "CDSL" , "dp_id" : "12345678" , "dp_name" : "HDFC Bank" , "client_id" : "12345678901234" , "bo_id" : "12345678901234" , "value" : 1500000.00 , "linked_holders" : [ ... ], "holdings" : { "equities" : [ ... ], "corporate_bonds" : [ ... ], "government_securities" : [ ... ], "aifs" : [ ... ], "demat_mutual_funds" : [ ... ] }, "additional_info" : { ... } } ], "mutual_funds" : [ { "folio_number" : "1234567890" , "amc" : "HDFC Mutual Fund" , "registrar" : "CAMS" , "value" : 450000.00 , "linked_holders" : [ ... ], "schemes" : [ ... ], "additional_info" : { ... } } ], "insurance" : { "life_insurance_policies" : [ ... ] }, "nps" : [ ... ] }
CAS Parser extracts 9 asset classes from your CAS:
Asset Class Source Fields Equities CDSL, NSDL ISIN, name, units, value Mutual Funds (Demat) CDSL, NSDL, CAMS, KFintech ISIN, scheme, units, NAV Mutual Funds (Non-Demat) CAMS, KFintech Folio, scheme, units, NAV, transactions Corporate Bonds CDSL, NSDL ISIN, issuer, coupon, maturity G-Secs CDSL, NSDL ISIN, name, units, value AIFs CDSL, NSDL ISIN, fund, units, value Insurance CDSL, NSDL Policy, provider, sum assured NPS CDSL, NSDL PRAN, tier, fund, units ETFs CDSL, NSDL ISIN, name, units, value
Password requirements CAS Type Password Format Example CDSL eCAS Encrypted PAN AXXXX1234X (varies)NSDL eCAS Encrypted PAN AXXXX1234X (varies)CAMS CAS Plain PAN ABCDE1234FKFintech CAS Plain PAN ABCDE1234F
For CDSL and NSDL eCAS, the password is an encrypted version of the PAN. It varies by statement. If parsing fails, check the email that delivered the CAS for the correct password.
Error handling response = requests.post( ... ) data = response.json() if data.get( "status" ) == "failed" : error = data.get( "msg" ) # Common errors: # - "Invalid password" — wrong PAN/encryption # - "Invalid PDF" — corrupted or scanned file # - "Unsupported format" — not a CAS file
