The Governor will be invited to address the joint session. It will be limited for Governor's address," Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J C Madhuswamy said.
Speaking to reporters after the cabinet meeting, he said the budget session is likely to be held in March tentatively.
Both the legislative assembly and council that had met last month for the winter session were adjourned sine die on December 10.
However, the council met once again for a day on December 15, during which there was high drama with BJP-JDS and Congress members hurling abuses and pushing each other and Deputy Chairman being pulled down from the Chair over a row pertaining to the no-confidence motion against Chairman K Pratapachandra Shetty.
