According to the minister, the first phase of the Budget Session will conclude on February 13. Parliament will then go into recess and reassemble on March 9, with the session ending on April 2.
The recess period is traditionally used by department-related standing committees to examine the demands for grants of various Union ministries and departments.
The Union Budget 2026 is likely to be presented in Parliament on February 1, which falls on a Sunday, while the Economic Survey is expected to be tabled on January 20.
Both Houses of Parliament will not meet on January 29 due to the Beating Retreat ceremony, which marks the formal conclusion of Republic Day celebrations.
The Budget Session is considered one of the most significant sittings of Parliament, as it includes the presentation and passage of the Union Budget and key financial legislation for the coming fiscal year.
