The apex court will deliberate on the findings on November 10 which could determine if world cricket chief N Srinivasan can seek re-election as president of the Indian board.
"We have submitted the report in a sealed envelope to the court," Raju Ramachandran, lawyer for the panel, told AFP, without elaborating.
In February, Mudgal panel presented a sealed envelope to the court containing names of 13 individuals who needed to be probed further.
The court revealed that Srinivasan was one of the names on the list and ordered the panel to investigate him and the 12 other unidentified persons.
