Chandila will have to submit his final written reply by March 12.
The disciplinary committee met Chandila, who along with Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan, was arrested in Mumbai in May 2013, in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Of the six Royals cricketers allegedly involved in IPL corruption scandal, Chandila's is the only case that has not been ruled on by the committee. On September 13, Sreesanth and Chavan were banned for life, Amit Singh was suspended for five years, Siddharth Trivedi for a year and Harmeet Singh was cleared of all the charges.
