Over 950,000 Singaporean households to get U-Save, S&CC rebates in October

SINGAPORE - Close to a million Singaporean HDB households will receive rebates on their utility and conservancy bills in October as part of a government scheme to help them with the cost of living.

Depending on their flat type, more than 950,000 eligible households will receive up to $190 in U-Save for their utility bills and a maximum of a month of rebates for their service and conservancy charges (S&CC), the Ministry of Finance said in a release on Sept 30.

For example, people living in a four-room flat will get $150 and half a month, respectively, in rebates for their U-Save and S&CC, while those in one- and two-room flats will get $190 and a month, respectively.

The utility and S&CC rebates will be automatically credited to the eligible households’ accounts with SP Services and the town councils, respectively.

These rebates are part of a permanent GST Voucher scheme that helps lower- and middle-income households cope with the increasing cost of living and increased goods and services tax.

They are disbursed every three months – in April, July, October and January – each year.

In total, eligible Singaporean HDB households will receive up to $760 in U-Save rebates for the financial year from April 2025 to March 2026.

In the same period, the eligible households can expect to receive a total of up to 3.5 months of S&CC rebates.
