Guwahati | The Assam Legislative Assembly’s Budget Session will commence on July 6, with the state government’s full Budget for the financial year 2026-27 set to be presented on July 10, according to the provisional business calendar issued by the Assembly Secretariat.

Finance Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah will table the Annual Financial Statement, outlining the government’s revenue and expenditure estimates for the current financial year. The budget is expected to provide a detailed roadmap for the state’s development priorities and fiscal strategy following the recently concluded Assembly elections.

The session is scheduled to continue until July 31 and will comprise 16 sittings, during which legislators are expected to deliberate on key financial proposals, government policies and legislative business.

The upcoming budget assumes particular significance as it will be the first full-fledged financial statement of the Himanta Biswa Sarma-led government after securing a second consecutive term in office. Earlier this year, ahead of the Assembly elections, the state government had presented a vote-on-account budget to meet essential expenditure requirements until a full budget could be placed before the House.

On February 17, then Finance Minister Ajanta Neog presented an interim budget with an outlay of ?62,294.78 crore, enabling the government to continue routine spending and ongoing programmes during the election period.

The full budget presentation comes in the wake of the National Democratic Alliance’s decisive electoral victory in the Assembly polls. The alliance secured 102 seats in the 126-member House, providing the government with a strong mandate for a second term.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the dominant force in the elections, winning 82 seats and achieving its first-ever single-party majority in Assam. Its alliance partners, the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF), won 10 seats each, further strengthening the NDA’s position in the Assembly.

On the opposition benches, the Congress retained its status as the principal opposition party with 19 seats. Other parties represented in the House include Raijor Dal and the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) with two seats each, while the Trinamool Congress secured one seat.

Political observers expect the July 10 budget to outline the government’s priorities for infrastructure development, welfare schemes, employment generation, education, healthcare and investment promotion, while also reflecting the administration’s policy direction for its second term.

With the Assembly session set to begin next week, attention will be focused on the government’s fiscal plans and the debates that are likely to shape Assam’s development agenda for the coming year.
