Tendulkar, the biggest scorer in the history of the game, stayed behind in Mumbai for the scan on Sunday when the rest of the squad flew to Bangalore for their game with England next Sunday (February 27).
The 37-year old batsman underwent an MRI scan on Sunday night at Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital after he felt pain in his left knee.
"It's an old injury. It was just a niggle. It's nothing to worry about. The (MRI) report is all clear," Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal said.
The master batsman will join the rest of the Indian squad in Bangalore on Monday.
Three more one-day hundreds in the World Cup climaxing in his native Mumbai on April 2 would make him the only batsman to total 100 centuries in both Tests and ODIs.
India won their first match in Dhaka on Saturday, beating Bangladesh by 87 runs. Tendulkar was run out for 28.
Tendulkar became the most capped one-day player in cricket in Saturday's win with his 445th appearance but a mix-up with match-winner Virender Sehwag lost him the chance to join the run feast on a placid track against a weak attack.
India eventually made 370 for four. He is the leading scoring one-day and test batsman and ranked by most experts among the top players of any era.
