"The incident happened in the 15th over of South Africa's run-chase when du Plessis showed obvious dissent by raising his right hand after being declared caught behind off Axar Patel," the International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement on Friday.
The 31-year-old, who captains South Africa in the Twenty20 format, pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the fine, proposed by match referee Chris Broad, the ICC added.
The charge was laid by on-field umpires S Ravi and C Shamsuddin, and third umpire AK Chaudhary.
All Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand and/or a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee.
Hosts India won the match by 35 runs to tie the five-ODI series at 2-2 with the deciding match to be played at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
