The Narendra Modi government is
considering whether to hold a truncated winter session of Parliament in
December. Thereafter, a brief session could be held in February to present the interim
Budget. Sources said the winter session could begin on December 10 and end on
December 23. There is also a view in the
government that it could follow the example of UPA 2, which in 2013-14 had
combined the winter and budget sessions with a long recess in between. Usually,
the official Budget session, if a government has completed its full five-year
term, is held after the convening of the new Lok Sabha. In 2013, the UPA II had held the
concluding session of Parliament from December 5, 2013, to February 21, 2014 -
combining the winter and interim Budget sessions. The session began on December
5, with Parliament going into a long recess on December 19, and meeting again
from February 5 to 21.
