The India — Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) has proposed that the Union Budget for 2026-27 be presented on February 1, a Sunday. This decision aims to maintain the February 1 timeline, introduced by Arun Jaitley, to ensure budget proposals are implemented from the start of India's financial year. The Budget Session of the India — Parliament of India will commence on January 28 with the President's address, followed by the Economic Survey on January 29. Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present her ninth consecutive Union Budget, a historic achievement that places her close to Morarji Desai's record of 10 budgets. Other former finance ministers like P. Chidambaram and Pranab Mukherjee are also mentioned for their budget presentation records. Presenting the budget on a weekend is not unprecedented, with Nirmala Sitharaman having done so in 2025 and Arun Jaitley in 2015 and 2016.
