The monsoon session of Parliament will commence from July 17, the day the President's election is scheduled in which over 776 MPs are eligible to vote.
The Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs, which met in New Delhi on Friday under the chairmanship of home minister Rajnath Singh, has recommended holding the session from July 17 to August 11, informed sources said.
They added that the session was being slightly advanced due to the Presidential elections. The monsoon session of Parliament is usually convened towards the end of July and goes on till August end.
Both houses of Parliament are unlikely to transact any business on the first day on account of the death of sitting MPs - Vinod Khanna (Lok Sabha) and P Goverdhan Reddy (Rajya Sabha).
Vinod Khanna, who represented Gurdaspur parliamentary constituency in Punjab, passed away on April 27. Reddy, Congress' Rajya Sabha member from Telangana, died on June 9.
