The Lok Sabha convened today, December 15, 2025, for a busy session during the Parliament Winter Session, commencing at 11 am. The agenda includes obituary references, the presentation of key committee reports, ministerial statements, and significant legislative business, most notably the discussion and voting on the Supplementary Demands for Grants for 2025-26 and the Appropriation (No. 4) Bill, 2025.
The session began with obituary references to honor the passing of three former Members of Parliament: Subhash Ahuja, who served in the Sixth Lok Sabha; Prof. Salahuddin, who was a member of the Eighth Lok Sabha; and Bal Krishna Chauhan, who served in the Thirteenth Lok Sabha. Following the tributes, the House proceeded with the Question Hour, during which ministers addressed questions listed separately.
Several Union Ministers are scheduled to present official documents before the Lok Sabha. These include Gajendra Singh Shekhawat for the Ministry of Culture; Jayant Chaudhary for the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and the Ministry of Education; Pankaj Chaudhary for the Ministry of Finance; Shobha Karandlaje for the Ministry of Labour and Employment; Kirti Vardhan Singh for the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change; Suresh Gopi for the Ministry of Tourism; Sukanta Majumdar for the Ministry of Education; and Harsh Malhotra for the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
Reports from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for 2025-26 are also slated for presentation. KC Venugopal and Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy will present the Thirty-fourth Report, addressing "Irregular grant of incentives and allowances," and the Thirty-fifth Report, focusing on the action taken by the government regarding observations and recommendations in the PAC's One Hundred and Forty-second Report (Seventeenth Lok Sabha) on the 'National Social Assistance Programme'.
The House is also expected to continue discussions on the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision exercise. Opposition leaders, potentially led by Rahul Gandhi, are anticipated to raise concerns about the process, suggesting it could lead to the deletion of genuine voters. The government is expected to respond to these concerns.
Furthermore, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will move the Appropriation (No. 4) Bill, 2025 in the Lok Sabha. This bill seeks authorization for the payment and appropriation of additional sums from the Consolidated Fund of India. These funds are intended to meet the necessary expenditure requirements for the financial year 2025–26. The House will discuss and vote on the bill.
