Budget session in Parliament to start from Jan 31, will continue till April 6

The Budget Session of Parliament will start from January 31 and will continue till April 6, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi said on Friday.

The winter session was cut short last month amid multiple disruptions. “Budget Session, 2023 of Parliament will commence from 31 January and continue till 6 April with 27 sittings spread over 66 days with usual recess. Amid Amrit Kaal looking forward to discussions on Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address, Union Budget & other items,” the Union Minister tweeted. There will be a break, however, between February 14 and March 12.

“During the Budget Session, 2023 the recess will be from 14 February till 12 March to enable the department related Parliamentary Standing Committees to examine the Demands for Grants and make reports relating to their Ministries/ Departments,” he further added.

This Budget Session is set to be held as the world continues to grapple with the aftermath of the Ukraine war, which has hit prices of essentials globally.
