Overall, the budget session is to have 33 working days.
Notably, the state government has decided to table its budget after the union budget.
Since the revenue-sharing pattern has been changed after NITI (National Institution for Transforming India) Aayog came into effect, the state government would introduce the budget after knowing the share of the state from central budget.
An appropriation bill for two months will be passed in the assembly before March 31. A regular budget for the remaining 10 months will be sent to the standing committee and its comments submitted by April 25. (IANS)
