As per the provisions of section 171 of the Companies Act, 1956 a Public Limited Company for the purpose of convening an EGM is required to obtain the consent of the shareholders holding not less than 95 per cent of such paid up share capital which gives them the right to vote at the meeting.
The form in which the consent of the members is to be obtained is Form 22A of the Companies (Central Government) General Rules and Forms, 1956
In my opinion, the EGM can be convened the same day the consent as aforesaid is obtained from the members.
God Bless

EGM can be called anytime after the Board approves calling of EGM, the very same day, same time by simply serving the EGM notice, subject to obtaining shorter notice consent of 95% of the shareholders as aforesaid.
