Genetic variability, correlation coefficients and path coefficient for yield and its components were studied in 24 promising lines of kabuli chickpea to find important traits contributing towards seed yield. Genetic variability study revealed that the characters, number of pods plant -1, pod weight plant -1, 100 seed weight and grain yield plant -1 exhibited high genotypic variance and high heritability coupled with high genetic advance which indicates the presence of high additive gene effects suggesting direct selection for these traits would be fruitful. The correlation coefficient of grain yield plant -1 was highly positive and significant with number of pods plant-1, pod weight plant1 and 100 seed weight at genotypic and phenotypic level. Path analysis revealed that high direct effects exhibited in desirable direction by number of pods plant-1 followed by 100 seed weight and pod weight plant -1 hence these three parameters viz., number of pods plant-1, 100 seed weight and pod weight plant-1 should be given more weightage in the selection of high yielding genotypes of kabuli chickpea.
