Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Saturday announced that President Droupadi Murmu has approved the government's proposal to convene the winter session of Parliament from December 1 to December 19, 2025.
"The Hon’ble President of India Smt. Droupadi Murmu ji has approved the proposal of the Government to convene the Winter Session of Parliament from 1st December 2025 to 19th December, 2025 (subject to exigencies of Parliamentary business)," Rijiju said in a statement.
"Looking forward to a constructive & meaningful Session that strengthens our democracy & serves the aspirations of the people," he added.
During the Parliament's month-long monsoon session, which began on July 21, the Lok Sabha passed 12 bills and the Rajya Sabha passed 15, even as the session was marred by repeated disruptions, adjournments, and walkouts.
Key legislations passed or introduced during the Parliament's Monsoon session included the National Sports Governance Bill, 2025; the National Anti-Doping (Amendment) Bill, 2025; the Income-tax Bill, 2025; the Taxation Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025; and the Indian Ports Bill, 2025. In addition to these, the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, which seeks to provide a legal framework for the removal of the Prime Minister, Union ministers, chief ministers and state ministers arrested or detained for serious offences, was also taken up.
The government also passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, making it a highlight of the Monsoon Session as it sparked a series of political opinions and corporate moves across entities that were involved in the online gaming landscape.
Rijiju described the Monsoon Session as "fruitful and successful" for the country and the government but "unsuccessful and damaging" for the opposition.
After both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned sine die, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister said that the government had transacted all its business and the session achieved a "100% success rate", insisting that treasury benches were compelled to pass bills amid din as the opposition refused to allow discussions.
Amid discussions and protests on Operation Sindoor and SIR in both Houses, Parliament's Monsoon session saw frequent disruptions that overshadowed legislative business, with the House losing over 84 hours to forced adjournments, the highest in the 18th Lok Sabha.
The session recorded 21 sittings with 37 hours and 7 minutes of effective business, according to the Lok Sabha secretariat.
