I am not getting any elevation or shadow for this:

Surface(
                elevation = 16.dp
            ) {
                Text(text = "Hello World", modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp))
            }

But if I add Modifier.drawLayer(shadowElevation = 16f then I get shadow. Now my qs is. shouldn’t elevation give us the shadow/elevation?

maybe you wrapped your Surface into some other Surface of the same size so this parent Surface clipped the shadow produced by an inner one? could you share more code?

thanks. it was due to clipping.
