Budget 2026: Parliament Session Jan 28-Apr 2 in Two Phases
Budget 2026 session kicks off Jan 28, running in two phases to Apr 2, with the Union Budget due Feb 1 and the Economic Survey likely tabled Jan 30.
Budget 2026 is poised to unfold in two phases, with Parliament convening from January 28 to April 2 in New Delhi. The multi-month session will be split to examine financing proposals and budgetary plans ahead of the new fiscal year. This phased approach is designed to streamline debate and ensure crucial approvals proceed in a structured timeline.
On the calendar, the Union Budget is slated to be tabled on February 1, a key milestone that will guide policy priorities and fiscal choices for the year ahead. Early indications also point to the Economic Survey being tabled around January 30, offering lawmakers a snapshot of the economy before the budget debate heats up.
January 29 will be a quiet day in the chamber, as Beating Retreat ceremonies typically prompt a pause in parliamentary business. With two distinct phases and a compact agenda around budgetary approvals, lawmakers will balance scrutiny with timely passage of financial reforms.
Analysts say the two-phase arrangement signals the government’s intent to advance essential financial measures while managing the legislative calendar. The session’s schedule will also test the opposition’s ability to coordinate debates on policy priorities and fiscal management across committees and plenary discussions.
Ultimately, Budget 2026’s parliamentary timetable will shape the year’s economic discourse, signaling fiscal priorities and policy direction for 2026-27 and beyond.
