The Indian Parliament is on track to finalize the budget process for the 2026-27 fiscal year, as it aims to approve the Finance Bill 2026 on March 27. This approval comes following successful passage in the Lok Sabha, with the Upper House now slated for consideration.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju briefed Rajya Sabha members on the schedule changes for the upcoming days, addressing queries about the government's agenda. Despite usual Fridays being reserved for private bills, this Friday will prioritize the Finance Bill due to its significance.
