The BCCI reacted after Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) life member Sanjeev Gupta complained against Dravid's dual role.
Gupta had earlier raised conflict of interest issue against former cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman for their dual roles in the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) and the IPL.
Ganguly had also faced a similar allegation which was brought by one Bhaswati Santua for remaining the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president and an advisor to IPL franchise Delhi Capitals simultaneously.
Few days ago, Ganguly had slammed the Indian selectors over team selections.
