New Delhi, July 4: The Monsoon Session of Parliament will be held from July 20 to August 13, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Saturday.
In a post on X, Rijiju said, "On the recommendation of the Govt of India, Hon'ble President, Smt. Droupadi Murmu ji has approved the summoning of both the Houses of Parliament for the Monsoon Session 2026. The Session will commence on July 20, 2026 and continue till August 13, 2026, for meaningful debate, discussion and decisions on issues of National Importance."
The Session will be closely watched as Government is expected to make another bid to push the Constitution amendment bill that seeks a uniform 50% increase in the strength of the Lok Sabha and state assemblies to operationalise the 33% women reservation.
Several parliamentary panels have held meetings in the last week.
The Government is also likely to push the contentious Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025, in the upcoming Monsoon session of the Parliament.
Meanwhile, a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) examining the 130th Constitution Amendment Bill is expected to adopt its report on July 17, with indications that it will retain the Bill's most debated provision mandating the automatic removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers and Union or State ministers from office if they are arrested and remain in judicial custody for 30 consecutive days in cases involving serious offences.
The JPC is expected to finalise and adopt its report at its meeting on July 17 before submitting it to Parliament for further consideration.
