What shall be time gap between Approval of financial statements and notice of AGM

Quick Summary
There is no mandatory fixed time gap prescribed between approval of financial statements and issuance of AGM notice under the Companies Act, 2013. Once financials are approved in the board meeting, the notice of AGM can be issued the same day, subject to the requirement of at least 21 clear days notice for the AGM itself.
The Draft Notice of AGM is approved and CS or any director of the Company is authorised to issue notice thereof at the Board Meeting at which Financial Statements are approved.
As per Section 101 of Companies Act, 2013, a general meeting may be called by giving not less than 21 days notice.
A meeting may be called by giving shorter notice as well if consent as required is obtained.
Keeping in view the provisions there has to be minimum 21 days gap between Board Meeting at which Financial statements are approved and the AGM date.
Further as we know shorter notice may also be given, the gap differs accordingly.
