900,000 HDB owners to get Service & Conservancy Charges rebates worth $126m

Each eligible household will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of rebates starting April.

Around 900,000 Singaporean HDB households can expect to receive $126m worth of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates starting April 2018 up to March 2019, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said. 

According to an announcement, the S&CC rebate was announced during Budget 2018 to provide additional support to households. In total, each eligible Singaporean household will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of S&CC rebate, depending on their HDB flat type.

Eligible households will receive a letter starting end-March with more details of the S&CC rebate. The rebate will be disbursed over the months of April 2018, July 2018, October 2018 and January 2019.

Owners of HDB 1 to 2 rooms will receive 3.5 months total of rebates. Those that own HDB 3 and 4 rooms will receive 2.5 months of rebates, whilst those that own HDB 5 flats will get 2 months of rebates. Owners of executive/multi-generation flats will get rebates worth 1.5 months.

MOF noted that the S&CC rebate will be used to offset a household’s S&CC payment directly. “For households who pay their S&CC through GIRO, their Town Councils will make the necessary arrangement with their banks,” it said.

For enquiries on their S&CC payment and account status, residents can contact their respective Town Councils.
