In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a system and method for automated processing of electronic documents is provided. The said system comprising a precursor module configured to receive an electronic document and convert into a textual equivalent; a data ascertainment module configured to identify the textual snippets, more particularly, the demarcated sections, corresponding to the at least one structured section and logically separate the demarcated sections the remaining textual equivalent; and, a pass-receiving module configured to receive said logically separated demarcated sections and the remaining textual equivalent and capture business relevant data committed therein, wherein said pass-receiving module captures the business relevant data from the demarcated sections by locating at least one master trigger and at least one proximate co-trigger in the demarcated sections and geometrically coupling said located triggers and co-triggers into at least one potential zone and extracting the business relevant data committed within these potential zones.
