Uttarakhand Gairsain session, October 2026: budget and bills for Dehradun

On 27 October 2026 Uttarakhand tabled a ₹7,844.18 crore supplementary budget at Gairsain and passed it with nine other bills, adjourning on 28 October.

What happened

The third session of 2026 of the Uttarakhand assembly met at Bhararisain, Gairsain, in Chamoli district on 27 and 28 October 2026. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who holds the finance portfolio, tabled a supplementary budget of ₹7,844.18 crore for 2026-27 on the opening day.

According to reports of the budget papers, the supplementary demand splits into ₹4,164.32 crore of capital expenditure and ₹3,679.86 crore of revenue expenditure. With it, the state's total budget for 2026-27 rises to about ₹1,19,547.39 crore.

Where the money is pointed. Reports list the main heads as roads, drinking water, power, urban development and rural welfare. Named allocations include ₹1,100 crore to buy paddy and wheat from farmers, ₹721 crore for local bodies and ₹500 crore for infrastructure expansion. Money is also set aside for the 2027 Ardh Kumbh at Haridwar and for a lake at Gairsain. The reports do not break these heads down city by city, so how much reaches Dehradun is not yet clear.

The bills. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Subodh Uniyal said the House passed the supplementary budget and nine other bills by voice vote. Speaker Ritu Khanduri adjourned the session sine die on 28 October. Pioneer Edge listed the nine bills as:

Uttarakhand Irrigation and Drainage Bill, 2026
Uttarakhand Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (Amendment) Bill, 2026
Uttarakhand Investment and Infrastructure Development and Regulation (Amendment) Bill, 2026
Uttarakhand Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2026
Uttarakhand Private Universities (Second Amendment) Bill, 2026
Uttarakhand Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Second Bill, 2026
Uttarakhand Minority Education Act (Amendment) Bill, 2026
Uttarakhand Fire and Emergency Services, Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Act, 2026
Uttarakhand Civil Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026

This updates our pre-session post, written on 14 October, which noted that no land or registration bill had been listed. That is still the case: none of the nine is a land, stamp-duty or registration bill. The one that most affects property owners is the new fire safety law, which we cover in a separate post on the fire Act.

A bill passed by the assembly becomes law only after the Governor's assent, and most Acts then need rules to be notified before they bite. The detailed texts of the Irrigation and Drainage Bill, the Investment and Infrastructure amendment and the Civil Laws amendment were not public as we wrote this, so we are not describing their provisions until we can read them.

What it means for buyers and tenants in Dehradun

This section is our view.

Nothing in your deal changes today. No bill touching stamp duty, circle rates, registration or the land law was passed. If you are mid-purchase in Dehradun, carry on under the current rules. Our guide to registration charges, circle rates and stamp duty still holds.

A budget line is not a built project. The supplementary budget funds roads, water, power and urban works across the state, but an allocation can take years to reach the ground, and some of it lapses. Do not pay a premium for a plot because a seller says a road or scheme has been "passed in the budget". Ask to see the sanction and the tender, not the headline.

The one to act on is fire safety. If you own, let out or run a hotel, shop, PG or homestay, the new fire Act is the change from this session that can reach you. Read what we have set out and start on compliance early.

Separate from this session: the cabinet's stamp-duty one-time settlement scheme, cleared on 22 October, is the recent decision that can actually save money on a pending Dehradun case.
