according to section 96 every company needs to call it's 1st AGM within 9 months from the end of financial year.
In your case, as it is a private company, incorporated on 22/3/17 it's year end would be 31/3/18 and counting nine months would be 31/12/2018.

First AGM should be held within in 9 months from the end of the financial year (i.e. 31-Mar-2017). Company should hold AGM on or before 31-Dec-2017

Otherwise company has to pay penalty for not holding AGM.

According to Companies Act, if first year ends on 31.03.2108, is there any complulsion to file Income Tax Return for the Financial Year 2016-17 and if yes, is there any compulsion to get accounts audited when there is no income/ expenditure etc.

I agree with Saloni Shah. Please ignore my earlier statement.

Incorporation year need not to taken into account to hold AGM.
