The two sides last met on May 23 and 24, but the talks remained inconclusive after they found "substantive differences" in views on the ceasefire issue.
The NSCN (I-M) faction will be represented by general secretary T Muivah and Rai Sing, a senior party member.
Government emissary K Padmanabhaiah said last month that the talks would be held again after he had discussed the matter with the government.
"We gave them a draft, and they gave us a draft... we wanted to reconcile both drafts but there are substantive differences," Padmanabhaiah said.
The differences centred around the extension of the coverage of ceasefire. The government has said it had to take into account the concerns of other states and allay their fears before taking a decision.
The NSCN (I-M), however, is demanding that the ceasefire should be extended to areas inhabited by Nagas in adjoining states.
Muivah said last month that unless the ceasefire coverage issue was not made clear, it was meaningless to hold talks.
The NSCN (I-M) feels the government has not honoured its promise of extending the ceasefire to all Naga-inhabited areas.
