930,000 HDB households to get $132 million in rebates
About 930,000 eligible HDB households will benefit from a Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebate totalling some $132 million.
This is part of the measures announced during Budget 2019 to help households with expenses, said the Ministry of Finance in a statement on Wednesday (27 March).
In total, each eligible Singaporean household will receive 1.5 to 3.5 months of S&CC rebates, depending on their HDB flat type.
The rebate will be disbursed over the months of April, July, October and January as follows:
Eligible households will receive a letter from end-March with more details of the rebate.
The rebate has been paid out annually by the government since 2013, and is used to offset a household’s S&CC payment.
For households who pay their S&CC through GIRO, the Town Councils will make the necessary arrangement with their banks.
Residents with enquiries on their eligibility for the rebate can call 1800-866-3078 (Mondays to Fridays, 8.30am to 5pm) or email sccrebates@mailbox.hdb.gov.sg
