Budget Session 2026 Scheduled from January 28
The government of India has announced that the Budget session of Parliament will take place from January 28 to April 2, 2026.
This session is important because it's when the Finance Minister presents the budget, which tells us how the government plans to spend money and collect taxes.
The session starts with the President addressing both houses of Parliament.
There will be a break from February 13 to March 9.
The exact date for the budget presentation hasn't been announced yet, but it might be on a Sunday, which is unusual.
This session is a big deal because it helps the government make decisions that affect all citizens.
The Budget session of Parliament is scheduled from January 28 to April 2, 2026.
President Droupadi Murmu will address the joint session of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is likely to present the Budget on February 1, 2026, a Sunday.
