The actor was seen smoking in public during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Jaipur city on 8 April.
A city resident has also filed a court complaint against the film star for violating anti-smoking laws.
Khan is the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders IPL team, which represents the city of Calcutta.
''We have fined the Rajasthan Cricket Association because it was their responsibility to not allow anyone to use its premises for smoking as it violates the law," Mohar Singh, a police officer in Jaipur, told the BBC.
The Jaipur stadium is managed by the association.
Police said "the fine is a small amount, but it has a big message attached to it".
Meanwhile, a court in the city has said it will take up the legal complaint against the actor on 18 April.
Rajasthan enacted the anti-smoking law 12 years ago and declared smoking in public places a legal offence.
