Budget Session from February 23; Budget on February 29

The Budget session of Parliament will begin on February 23, and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will present the union budget on February 29.

But you will see even the break time due to Construction elections in five states or no curtailment of the program.

The meeting of Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) saw the decision being taken in this regard.

The Budget Session, normally, begins in the third or fourth week of February but it is expected to begin on February 23 this year.

The Rail Budget will be presented on Feb 25 followed by the economic survey which will be presented on 26th February.

“In 2011, the then government had decided not to refer bills to Standing Committees in the budget session when states were going to polls and there were demands to curtail the session”.

However, sources in Congress said there has been no effort by the government to build bridges after the Winter session washout.

The government is keen on passing the crucial GST Bill, which could not make it in the past two sessions, during the Budget session.

“The country is heading towards development and the Parliament session should be used to take progress forward”, he added. Hopefully, no party may quit improvement and the improvement on these problems. “We’re speaking with all events, informally and officially and our endeavor is the fact that the budget program is good and good”, Naqvi said.

” the business days of The Program shouldn’t be limited”.

JD-U leader Sharad Yadav said, “There was consensus among various parties that despite the assembly elections in a few states, the number of working days of the budget session should not be reduced. Mr Naidu proposed Parliament reconvene from April 18, but the Congress and Left, through a back channel, wanted TMC support for the session from April 11 by sugar-coating it saying the BJP leaders could be held back in Parliament and wouldn’t be able to campaign for the West Bengal elections”, said a senior TMC leader. “The Prime Minister will also know about the sittings and will remain in the House and not be overseas”, Yechury said. The other option could be doing away with the recess between the two parts of the budget session in order to finish the agenda before assembly polls.

It’ll start towards the combined sitting of both Homes on February 23 with the handle of Leader Pranab Mukherjee because it may be the first program of the brand new twelve months.

Naidu, however, expressed optimism that the Constitution Bill on GST hanging in the Rajya Sabha as also those on the real estate and bankruptcy would be passed during the budget session.

In view of the elections to four states and one Union Territory the government was mulling scrapping the recess and concluding the session in one stretch by March end.
