The second T20, which South Africa won by six wickets, was stopped more than once after spectators started throwing bottles on the ground following India's poor performance.
The match was completed after the trouble-making stands were evacuated.
"In the wake of unruly behaviour by the crowd at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack during the second T20I between India and South Africa on October 5, 2015, the BCCI President, Mr. Shashank Manohar, has asked the Hon. Secretary of Orissa Cricket Association, Mr. Ashirwad Behera, to submit a report on the incident within two days," the Board said in a statement.
"Mr. Manohar has asked the state association to explain why the spectators were allowed to carry the bottles inside the stadium, which is against the ICC Guidelines," it added.
The unruly behaviour of the fans drew unanimous condemnation with former captains Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar among those deploring the incident.
