Budget 2026 Date: The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA), under the chairmanship of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, on Wednesday approved the key dates for the upcoming Budget Session of Parliament.
According to the Parliament calendar, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget 2026-27 on February 1, Sunday.
With this, it will be the first time that the Union Budget is presented on a Sunday.
The President’s address to the joint sitting of Parliament will be held on January 28, marking the start of the Budget Session. The Economic Survey will be tabled in Parliament on January 29.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will be presenting her eighth consecutive Union Budget, which will also be the 80th Budget since Independence. Since 2017, the government has followed the practice of presenting the Union Budget at 11 am on February 1, after advancing it from the earlier tradition of February 28. The shift was first implemented during the tenure of former finance minister Arun Jaitley, with the aim of ensuring quicker implementation of budgetary proposals from the start of the new financial year.
