The budget session of the ninth Jatiya Sangsad began on Sunday afternoon amid boycott by lawmakers of the BNP-led opposition.
It will be the fourth budget of the Awami League-led alliance government since it came to power in January 2009.
The last three national budgets got through parliament in the absence of the main opposition.
Finance Minister AMA Muhith is expected to place the national budget in the House on June 7 for fiscal 2012-2013.
Wishing anonymity, a BNP lawmaker said the party was not thinking about returning to the House before the opposition's June 10 deadline for the government to accept its demand for restoration of the caretaker government system.
The 12th session of the ninth parliament, which had 33 working days, was prorogued on March 29.
Having stayed away from parliamentary proceedings for 83 consecutive sittings since March last year, opposition lawmakers had returned to the House on March 18.
