Pursuant to the provisions of section 210 of the Companies Act, 1956 if the financial year of the Company ends on 31st March, then the AGM for adoption of Annual Accoounts has to be held within 6 months from the end of the financial year i.e. by 30th September. However, on an application made in this behalf, the Registrar may extend the period within which the AGM has to be held for a period not exceeding 3 months.
In case of first AGM, it is has be held within 18 months from the date of incorporation and within 9 months from the end of the financial year and no extension as aforesaid is available in case of First AGM!!!!
Hence, you should make an application to the Registrar for seeking the extension of time for holding the AGM of the Company and should hold the AGM within the extended time period!
