Special component plan formulated in the sixth five-year plan with the objective of “to ensure not only that sufficient funds are allocated for the welfare of Scheduled Castes, but also to make sure that the funds are properly used and that effective and practical programmes towards clear goals and targets are initiated”. In Sixth Five Year plan SCP was initiated for upliftment of SC and ST Community, but still SC community has not developed significantly by the SCP. This paper covers trends in budgetary provision of SCP and expenditure incurred for the development of SCP. In this paper revealed that, provision for SCP is made in the proportion of the Scheduled Caste population, but expenditure of this plan is continuously decreasing so there is need to create awareness among Scheduled Caste people towards the Special Component Plan
