Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday (March 25, 2026) informed the Lok Sabha that the second part of the Budget session would continue as per schedule, and the government would take up its business on Friday (March 27) instead of private members’ business. The second half of Friday is typically reserved for private members’ business.
Mr. Rijiju said that though there was a proposal to hold sittings during the weekend, Parliament will not function on Saturday (March 28) and Sunday (March 29). March 31 will be a holiday because of Mahavir Jayanti.

“On the rest of the days, the House will function as proposed,” he said, indicating that Parliament would function until April 2. The Business Advisory Committee has already allocated seven hours of debate for the Central Armed Police Forces (General Administration) Bill, 2026.
The announcement came amid reports that Parliament may adjourn early in view of the ensuing Assembly elections in four States and one Union Territory.
