New Delhi: The last session of Parliament, which would begin on February 12, would be a truncated affair as it is being convened primarily to pass a vote-on-account to meet the financial exigencies till the new government takes over.

The fortnight-long session would begin with the President's address to a joint sitting of both the Houses. It would conclude on February 26, subject to the exigencies of government business. PM discharged from AIIMS

The vote-on-account would have to be passed during this session as a government, on its way out, cannot pass a full-fledged budget.

Both the Houses would discuss and adopt the motion of thanks to the President for her address. The government also plans to bring in some bills to replace about three ordinances.

The session is also likely to take up certain bills pending in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, besides private members business.
