The current Lok Sabha will meet for the last time from February 5 to February 21 to pass a 'Vote-on-Account' budget ahead of the Lok Sabha elections expected to be held in April-May.

"Parliament will meet from February 5 to 21. Yes, it will be continuation of the winter session," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath told reporters after the meeting of Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs here chaired by Defence Minister A K Antony.

Sources later said the 'Vote-on-Account' is likely to be taken up on February 17. The coming session will be a continuation of the winter session as both Houses were not prorogued.

During the session, government also plans to ensure passage of some anti-corruption legislations which have been identified by Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi as the broader "framework" to fight graft.
