In the Govt. of India resolution constituting the SSCAC, its headquarter was indicated as Gandhinagar.  However, the SSCAC during its first meeting held in December 1980 had fixed Vadodara as its headquarter on the suggestion of Govt. of Maharashtra and in view of the fact that the dam site was near Vadodara and that the Govt. of Gujarat was in a position to provide office and residential accommodation to SSCAC Secretariat at Vadodara. The resolution regarding change of head-quarters of the SSCAC from Gandhinagar to Vadodara was issued in December 1980.

The expenditure of the SSCAC is equally borne by the four party states, namely Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. The Headquarter of the SSCAC is at Vadodara in Gujarat.
