With increasing emphasis on sustainability and stakeholder engagement, Indian banks have integrated CSR initiatives into their core strategies. The study uses financial tools like Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Earnings Per Share (EPS), Net Profit Margin and Tobin Q with the assessment of CSR efforts based on annual reports and sustainability disclosures from 2020–2024. To analyze the shift in corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices, a comparative tool was employed to assess the CSR expenditure of 10 major Indian banks, highlighting the percentage change in spending between 2020 and 2024.
