Parliament Winter Session 2025: As Parliament gears up for the Winter Session beginning today, fiery speeches and heated debates are expected. Over the three-week session, the Opposition is likely to raise a range of issues, while the Centre is set to table several bills.
The Lok Sabha’s Business Advisory Committee (BAC) on Sunday allocated time for several key bills and discussions for the Winter Session.
The Winter Session will begin December 1, 2025, and is scheduled to conclude on December 19, 2025. Parliament is set to have 15 sittings across 19 days. Private Members’ Bills are set to be taken for consideration on December 5 and 19, and Private Members’ resolutions on December 12.
What’s On The Agenda For Parliament’s Winter Session 2025?

According to the BAC schedule, the Manipur Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill and the Central Excise Bills will each be discussed for three hours. Similarly, the Supplementary Demand for Grants has been allotted three hours of debate.
