| The communists have opposed the deal, saying it would give the US leverage over India's foreign policy.
Indian PM Manmohan Singh has said that efforts are still going on to persuade them to accept it.
Mr Singh told US President George W Bush recently that he was having difficulty implementing the deal.
It was the first clear sign India could shelve the deal, which would allow India access to civilian nuclear technology and fuel.
Differences between the Congress-led government and its allies over the deal has led to talk of early elections.
The communists are expected to ask the government to confirm it has been shelved.
"We have not heard anything from the prime minister so far," D Raja of the Communist Party of India was quoted telling Reuters news agency.
"They are changing their position every day. We would like to know what the stand of the government is," he said.
Sitaram Yechury of the Communist Party of India (Marxists) told reporters that Monday's meeting will reveal "how the government wishes to proceed and on that basis, we will take our future decisions".
