The study investigates how ―Corporate Social Responsibility Expenditure (CSRE)‖ and ―Financial Performance‖ (FP) are related by analyzing the Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) of five private banks over a five-year period from 2016 to 2021.The findings revealed that CSRE has a substantial beneficial effect on both ROA and ROE, which suggests that private banks in India that participate in CSR initiatives typically have stronger FP. Moreover, the study found a significant difference in the CSR expenditure, ROA, ROE, and size of selected Indian private banks. These results have significant implications for private banks in India and other emerging markets, as they suggest that CSR can be an effective strategy for improving financial performance while contributing to the societal well-being.
