The meeting is scheduled to be held at the prime minister's residence at Lok Kalyan Marg, they said.
The apex court had Tuesday reinstated Verma as the CBI director. It quashed the government's unprecedented "overnight" order over two months ago, stripping him of his powers and sending him on leave after he and his deputy
Rakesh Asthana traded corruption charges sparking a bitter feud.
The court, while reinstating Verma, however, made it clear that he will desist from taking any major policy decision till a high-powered committee considers the issue of "divestment of power and authority".
Verma's two-year tenure as CBI director ends on January 31.
Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi and senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge are among the members of the panel, the officials said.
Meanwhile, Verma had on Wednesday joined the office following the order.
The Modi government had in October, 2018 sent Verma and Asthana on forced leave.
