The budget session of Parliament will start from January 29 and the Union Budget will be presented on February 1, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said on Friday.

The first phase of the session will be from January 29 to February 9. After a recess, Parliament will meet again from March 5 to April 6, Kumar said.

The Recommendation of the session dates was made by the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs.

Earlier in the day, both lower and upper houses were adjourned sine-die as the winter session of the Parliament came to an end.

The winter session of the Parliament, which started on December 15 has generally been a stormy affair with Opposition creating ruckus over a number of issues be it PM Modi's "colluding with Pakistan" remark or the Triple Talaq Bill that could not see the light of the day in Rajya Sabha.
