The decision on the 13-day monsoon session was taken in the meeting of the Business Advisory Committees of the Assembly and Legislative Council at Vidhan Bhawan on Friday.
Deputy Chief Minister and NCP president Ajit Pawar, who holds the planning and finance portfolios, will present the State Economic Survey for 2023-24 on June 27, before presenting the annual budget for 2024-25 on June 28.
In view of the upcoming assembly elections to be held in September-October this year, Pawar is expected to make several populist announcements in the upcoming budget.
Incidentally, Pawar and his party ministers did not attend the Business Advisory Committee meetings due to prior commitments, while Leader of Opposition in the state Assembly Vijay Wadettiwar participated online.
On February 27, Pawar presented an interim budget of Rs 600,522 crore for 2024–25 with a revenue deficit of Rs 9,734 crore.
No new tax is proposed in the budget.
Pawar, who during the interim budget had expressed the state government's resolve to make Maharashtra a $1 trillion economy, is expected to propose a detailed roadmap in the annual budget.
Apart from this, he may also propose relief in stamp duty penalty and other cess in view of the upcoming assembly elections.
The monsoon session is expected to be a tumultuous one as this will be the first time after the Lok Sabha elections that Mahayuti and Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) will face each other. In the elections, Mahayuti could win 17 seats as against 31 seats won by the MVA.
