The Budget session of Parliament is set to begin on January 28, 2026, and the Union Budget is set to be tabled on February 1, said officials on Friday, citing the tentative schedule finalised by the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs.
President Droupadi Murmu will address a joint sitting of the two Houses on January 28, as per custom which dictates that the President address the Houses on the first day of the first Parliament session of the year.
While the two Houses will not meet on January 29, due to the Beating Retreat ceremony, and on January 31, the Economic Survey is likely to be tabled on January 30.
This will be followed by the Union Budget set to be tabled on February 1, a Sunday.
After discussions on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address and Union Budget, Parliament will adjourn for a near month-long recess on February 13 before reconvening on March 9, with the session finally concluding on April 2, a Thursday.
Usually, Parliament is adjourned on a Friday, but keeping in mind that Good Friday falls on April 3 and the subsequent weekend, the session could conclude on April 2, officials said.
The recess in the Budget session helps department-related standing committees to examine demands for grants of various Union ministries and departments.
