930,000 HDB households to receive $132m of S&CC rebate

Eligible Singaporean households will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of S&CC rebate, depending on their HDB flat type.

About 930,000 Singaporean HDB households can expect to receive Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebate amounting to $132m in FY2019, an announcement by the Ministry of Finance revealed. The S&CC rebate was announced during Budget 2019 to help households with expenses.

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 from end-March with more details of the S&CC rebate. The rebate will be disbursed over the months of April 2019, July 2019, October 2019 and January 2020.

The S&CC rebate has been paid out annually by the Government since 2013. 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 arrangements with their banks.
