NEW DELHI: The month-long Winter Session of Parliament is set to begin from November 16 during which the issue of surgical strikes in PoK is likely to dominate the proceedings.

The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affair (CCPA) met here this evening and recommended that the session would commence from November 16 and end on December 16.

The Winter Session dates have been advanced as in the past it was normally convened in the third or fourth week of November.

An early session may help the Central GST (CGST) and Integrated GST (IGST) legislations, which will pave way for the Goods and Services Tax (GST), to be approved within November or latest by early December.

The Government is also considering advancing the Budget Session by a month or so starting from January next year. (AGENCIES)
