Budget 2026 Date: Sunday Showdown? CCPA to Decide on Feb 1 Presentation

• Union Budget 2026's presentation date is uncertain as February 1 falls on a Sunday and Guru Ravidas Jayanti.
• The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) is expected to decide today on whether to present the budget on February 1.
• A proposal to present the budget on February 1 (Sunday) has been put forward for CCPA's approval.
• Historically, budgets have been presented on weekends; Arun Jaitley (2015, 2016) and Yashwant Sinha (1999) did so.
• If approved, Parliament will work on Sunday; otherwise, the budget might be postponed to February 2.

Why It Matters: CCPA to decide today if Union Budget 2026 will be presented on Feb 1, despite it being a Sunday.
