Budget Session Begins January 28; Union Budget to Be Presented on February 1
The Budget Session of Parliament will begin on January 28, with the Union Budget for 2026-27 scheduled to be presented on February 1, according to official sources. The session will include sittings on January 30, when the Economic Survey is expected to be tabled in both Houses. The Survey will outline the state of the economy, key challenges, and growth prospects, setting the context for the Budget.
The Budget Session is expected to be held in two phases, with a recess in between, allowing parliamentary committees to examine Budget proposals. Lawmakers are likely to engage in extensive debates on economic growth, inflation, employment, fiscal consolidation, and welfare measures.
The government is expected to focus on infrastructure development, social sector spending, and reforms aimed at boosting investment and job creation. The session is also likely to witness political sparring, with the Opposition raising issues related to governance, prices, and policy decisions ahead of the general elections.
