The Budget session of Parliament is expected to commence on January 28, with the Union Budget scheduled to be tabled on February 1, a Sunday.
Officials, citing the tentative schedule finalised by the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, said President Droupadi Murmu will address a joint sitting of both Houses on January 28. The President’s customary address marks the first day of the first parliamentary session of the year.
Parliament will not meet on January 29 due to the Beating Retreat ceremony. It is likely to sit on January 30 for the presentation of the Economic Survey. The Houses will again not meet on January 31.
After the Union Budget is tabled on February 1 and discussions on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address and the Budget are completed, Parliament is scheduled to adjourn for a nearly month-long recess on February 13.
