As of November 9, 2026, neither the Lok Sabha nor the Rajya Sabha has been formally prorogued, keeping the possibility of an extended sitting of the current Monsoon session alive.
The Monsoon session of Parliament has remained in a state of limbo for 88 days, with no formal prorogation of either house announced as of the morning of November 9, 2026. The Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have continued to sit without a scheduled end, allowing the session to potentially extend beyond its usual timeframe.
The absence of a prorogation order means that lawmakers can still convene for debates, questions, and other parliamentary business. The decision to keep the session open has been noted by parliamentary officials, who indicated that the extended sitting could accommodate pending legislative work.
Observers note that the extended session is unusual, as most Monsoon sessions conclude within a few weeks. The continued operation of both houses keeps the legislative agenda active and provides flexibility for the government to address pressing issues.
No further details have been released regarding when or if a formal prorogation will be declared. The Parliament remains in session, with members available to address the nation’s priorities.
The situation underscores the importance of parliamentary continuity and the government's intent to maintain legislative momentum during the Monsoon period.
