The passenger has been identified as Absar Alam, a resident of Jamia Nagar in Delhi. He was travelling to Hyderabad with his family.
Carrying 197 passengers, SpiceJet's SG-036 touched down in Kochi after a fault in the hydraulic system was identified.
The airline had put the passenger on "no flying list" for 15 days in February.
The order is following at least eight incidents of technical malfunction in its aircraft since June 19.
Reacting to the DGCA's show-cause notice to the airline, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia asserted that passenger safety is paramount.
There was oil leakage in one of the engines of the Q400 aircraft and that is likely the reason for smoke in the plane.
While SpiceJet's IT team has to a large extent contained and rectified the situation, this has had a cascading effect on its flights leading to delays.
The Mumbai-Durgapur flight encountered turbulence during descent on Sunday.
The Boeing 737 Max planes were grounded in India by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on March 13, 2019, three days after the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max aircraft near Addis Ababa, which killed 157 people, including four Indians.
