These birds are about 12cm in size and weigh 15 grams. They roost communally and sit side by side in close contact with each other. Scaly-breasted munia clutches usually contain 4 to 6 eggs, but can contain up to 10. Both parents build the nest and incubate the eggs, which hatch in 10 to 16 days.

The Scaly Breasted munia is found throughout the Indian Sub-continent up to 2100m of the Himalayas. They occupy various habitats but prefer to be close to water and grassland. They are considered a minor pest by Paddy farmers in India for feeding on the grains.
