Union Budget 2026 Scheduled for February 1 Presentation

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is all set to present the Union Budget 2026 on Sunday, February 1. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla confirmed that the budget presentation will take place at 11 am, marking the official start of discussions on the government’s financial and economic plans for the year.

Earlier, there was some confusion regarding the schedule because February 1 falls on a Sunday this year. Traditionally, the Union Budget is presented on February 1, but since it coincides with a weekend, many wondered whether the government would adjust the date. Now, it has been officially confirmed that the budget will be presented as planned, maintaining the usual schedule.

The Union Budget session of Parliament will provide lawmakers with the opportunity to examine the government’s proposals in detail. Members of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha will have time to debate various aspects of the budget, including taxation, expenditure, and development plans aimed at boosting economic growth.

This year’s budget presentation is expected to focus on key areas such as infrastructure, health, education, and initiatives to promote employment and investment. By presenting the budget on the planned date, the government ensures that Parliament has enough time to discuss and refine policies to support the welfare of citizens and strengthen the country’s economy.

The announcement also brings clarity to businesses, investors, and citizens, who closely follow the Union Budget to understand upcoming tax changes, government spending priorities, and opportunities for growth in different sectors. Overall, the timely presentation of the Union Budget 2026 will help set the direction for India’s economic and development plans for the coming year.
