SINGAPORE: More than 950,000 Singaporean households living in Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats will receive rebates in July to defray some of the costs when paying their utilities bill and charges for the upkeep of their housing estates.
The rebates for U-Save and the Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) are part of the government's enhanced Assurance Package and the permanent GST Voucher scheme to help residents cope with the rising costs of living.
The rebates will help offset utilities expenses and S&CC for lower- to middle-income HDB households, the Ministry of Finance said in a news release on Monday (Jun 30).
This is the second quarterly disbursement for the financial year of 2025, with the remaining two to be given out in October and then in January next year.
Next month, eligible households will receive up to S$190 (US$149) worth of U-Save, depending on their HDB flat type.
In total, eligible Singaporean HDB households will receive up to S$760 of U-Save rebates in the 2025 financial year.
In July, eligible households will also receive up to one month of S&CC rebates, depending on their HDB flat type.
In total, eligible households will receive up to three-and-a-half months of S&CC rebates in the 2025 financial year.
