SINGAPORE – Close to a million Singaporean HDB households will receive rebates to their utility and conservancy bills in April.
In a statement on March 28, the Ministry of Finance said eligible households will receive up to $190 in U-Save for their utility bills and up to a month of rebates for their service and conservancy charges (S&CC). Both would vary depending on the household’s flat type.
In total, each eligible household can expect to get up to $760 of U-Save and 3½ months of S&CC rebates for the financial year from April 2025 to March 2026.
People living in a four-room flat will get $150 and one month, respectively, in rebates for their U-Save and S&CC in April, while those in one- and two-room flats will get $190 and a month, respectively.
The rebates offset utility expenses and S&CC for lower- to middle-income households, as part of the permanent GST Voucher scheme and the enhanced Assurance Package, the Finance Ministry said.
To be eligible for the U-Save rebate, there must be at least one Singaporean owner or occupier in the household if the flat is partially rented or not rented out. Also, there must be at least one Singaporean tenant if the entire Housing Board flat is rented out.
Households with people who own more than one property are not eligible for U-Save rebates, said the ministry.
The following households are not eligible for the S&CC rebate:
Those without any Singaporean owner or occupier
Those where the owners or essential occupiers own or hold interest in a private property
Those where the entire flat is rented out
To check eligibility for S&CC rebates, log in to the My HDBPage via Singpass.
The U-Save and S&CC rebates will be automatically credited to the eligible household’s accounts with grid operator SP Services and the town councils, respectively.
Government officials will not ask the public to transfer money or disclose banking details over a call, said the ministry, adding that one should call the ScamShield helpline on 1799 if in doubt.
The U-Save and S&CC rebates are disbursed every three months – in April, July, October and January – each year.
