Correlation and path analyses were studied for grain yield, its components and quality characters in a set of 65 genotypes of scented rice. A very strong positive correlation of grain yield plant^-1 at genotypic, phenotypic and environmental levels was observed with harvest-index, while number of effective tillers plant^-1 and biological yield plant^-1 showed very strong positive association at both phenotypic and genotypic level. Harvest-index followed by number of effective tillers plant^-1, biological yield plant^-1, kernel length, L/B ratio, fertility percentage and 1000-grain weight emerged as the most important associate of grain yield in scented rice. Path analysis identified biological yield plant^-1 and harvest-index as major direct contributors and number of effective tillers plant^-1, days to 50% flowering and days to maturity as main indirect contributors
