The Law Ministry is looking at a small window for the passage of a key bill to allow proxy voting rights to overseas Indians and make electoral law gender neutral for service voters.
The bill assumes importance as Lok Sabha elections are due in summer.
The Budget session of Parliament, the last session of the present government, will have 11 sittings between January 31 and Februray13.
The bill was passed by Lok Sabha in August, 2018 and has been awaiting Rajya Sabha nod.
Asked whether the government will push for its passage in the brief Budget session, a senior law ministry official said,"All pending bills are important as it is the last session. In the Winter session it was listed in the Rajya Sabha agenda every day."
