The tenure of the 16th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly is set to end on May 10, 2026, completing its five-year term.
The Assembly began its tenure on May 11, 2021, following the state elections held in Tamil Nadu.
This Assembly recorded comparatively fewer sittings than previous legislative terms, indicating a reduced number of sessions.
It introduced a major administrative reform by shifting to a fully digital and paperless mode of budget presentation.
On August 13, 2021, the revised Budget for 2021–22 was presented in a paperless format by former Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan.
A significant initiative was the introduction of a separate Agriculture Budget, presented annually to give focused attention to the agriculture sector.
