Over 1 million S’porean HDB households to get U-Save, S&CC rebates in October

The rebates will be automatically credited to eligible households' accounts.

The Singapore government has announced that more than a million households living in Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats will receive rebates on their utility and conservancy bills in October, as part of a scheme to alleviate the cost of living. Eligible households will receive up to $190 in U-Save rebates on their utility bills and up to one month’s worth of rebates on their service and conservancy charges (S&CC).

The rebates, which will be automatically credited to the households' accounts with the relevant service providers, will be disbursed every three months until January 2027. The scheme is part of a permanent GST Voucher scheme aimed at helping lower- and middle-income households cope with rising living costs.
