Budget 2026 Date Dilemma: Sunday Presentation or Postponement? Big Decision Today

• Uncertainty surrounds Union Budget 2026 presentation date as February 1st falls on a Sunday and Guru Ravidas Jayanti.
• Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) likely to meet today to decide; current proposal is to present on Feb 1st.
• Historically, budgets have been presented on weekends; Arun Jaitley (2015, 2016) and Yashwant Sinha (1999) did so.
• If approved, Parliament might hold a special session on Sunday; Economic Survey could be on January 31st.
• Government faces two options: present on Feb 1st (Sunday) or postpone to Feb 2nd; no official announcement yet.

Why It Matters: Decision pending on Union Budget 2026 date, with Feb 1st (Sunday) as a strong possibility.
