Budget session to start on Jan 31
The last budget session of the 17th Lok Sabha is scheduled to take place from January 31 to February 9. As the term of the Lok Sabha concludes on June 16, this session will be the final one before the announcement of general elections.
President Droupadi Murmu is expected to deliver an address to a joint sitting of the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha on January 31.
On February 1, the government is set to present a vote-on-account or an ‘interim budget’. The upcoming administration will subsequently present a comprehensive budget after the new government is formed.
