In a rather cryptic statement which did not reveal details, BCCI secretary N Srinivasan said the board acted on an e-mail from England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) chairman Giles Clarke.
Clarke wrote a mail to BCCI President Shashank Manohar and informed him about the activities of Modi that he found detrimental to the game of cricket.
"The BCCI has issued another show cause notice to Mr. Lalit K Modi today, based on an e-mail received from Mr. Giles Clarke, Chairman, ECB, informing the President, BCCI, about the activities of Mr. Lalit K Modi, which are detrimental to Indian Cricket, English Cricket and World cricket at large," BCCI secretary N Srinivasan said in a statement.
Modi, 46, was removed as head of the glitzy IPL last week pending an internal BCCI probe into allegations of corruption, tax evasion and money-laundering that sparked a federal tax investigation.
He was also stood down as a BCCI vice-president and as chairman of the T20 Champions League, a separate club tournament organised jointly by India, Australia and South Africa.
May 10 was the deadline set by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for him to respond to the charges against him. However, it's still not known what deadline has been fixed by the BCCI for Modi to reply to this fresh notice.
