Union Budget 2026: Will Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman present budget on Sunday, February 1, 2026?

With February 1, 2026, falling on a Sunday, the presentation of India's Union Budget is under scrutiny. While parliamentary conventions suggest it could be presented on the Sunday, a final decision rests with the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs. This date shift aims to ensure budget implementation by April 1, the start of the fiscal year.
