you can take extension to conduct your AGM but it should be done before the due date of the AGM.
But if the last date of the AGM is expired then you need to file the application for condonation of delay before the Company Law Board. Kindly, correct me if I am wrong.

No time extension is allowed for holding the 1st AGM.In case ,the AGM is held beyond the statutory time - limit, the proceedings will remain valid but the company and its officials in default will be punishable with fine for delay in holding the same.
