Ortiz was reported of committing an offence by violating Article 48.1.2 of the AIFF Disciplinary Code. The Committee has given Ortiz time till Wednesday to submit a reply.
The Spaniard, who was red-carded, will serve his automatic one-match suspension in FC Goa's next assignment against Hyderabad FC Saturday.
Meanwhile, ATK Mohun Bagan physiotherapist Luis Alfonso Redondo Martinez, who was shown the red card against Chennaiyin FC has also been charged with a similar offence.
