The Odisha assembly's budget session will take place from March 25 to March 31. Speaker S N Patro told reporters on Tuesday that State Finance Minister Niranjan Pujari will propose the yearly budget (vote-on-account) on March 30 and the Appropriation Bill on March 31.

Governor Ganeshi Lal has called for a seven-day budget session from March 25 to March 31, he stated.The governor's message will kick off the ninth session of the 16th state assembly on March 25 at 11 a.m., according to a notification.

When the budget for the new fiscal year is not passed, the administration is granted interim permission to take funds by obtaining a vote of the assembly. Because of the panchayat and urban local body elections, the state administration was unable to compile a regular budget for the fiscal year 2022-23.

On March 24, 109 ULBs, including three municipal corporations, will be polled, and the budget session will begin the next day. On March 26, the votes will be counted. During the 2009, 2014, and 2019 general elections, the state government offered vote-on-account to the assembly.  The vote-on-account will be created with the state government's requirements for the first four months of the fiscal year in mind.
