11 February 2015 Proviso to Section 101(1)allows a company to hold/call for a shareholders'meeting in a shorter notice period - i.e. of less than 21 days, provided consent is given by not less than 95% of the members entitled to vote at such meeting.

Check the Articles of association of a company. Generally AOA specify a time limit for such shorter notice.

You should attach the shroter notice with Form 20 B (Annual return)

Earlier under the companies act 1956 Form 22A was prescribed for taking consent of the shareholders for shorter notice. But there is no form prescribed under the new companies act.
