Uncertainty over Budget presentation persists

February 01, 2017 09:09

Speculation is rife that Budget will be delayed by a day after former Union minister E Ahamed died early this morning.

Traditionally, the House is adjourned for a day if a sitting MP dies during either during the inter-session period or during the session itself.

However, the budget can be presented in the Rajya Sabha as E Ahamed was not the member of the Upper House. The Lok Sabha can be called and mourn the death of the MP and get adjourned, and the Budget can be taken to the Rajya Sabha.

But, according to reports, the final call on the budget will be taken by speaker, decision is expected by 10 am.
