SINGAPORE: Over 950,000 Singaporean households living in Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats will receive up to S$190 in U-Save rebates and up to a month of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates this July to help with utilities and estate upkeep charges, depending on their flat type, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said in a press release on Monday (June 30). The payouts are part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and enhanced Assurance Package, aimed at supporting lower- to middle-income HDB households. The rebates are given out every quarter in April, July, October, and January. July's disbursement marks the second round for the financial year. Over the full financial year, eligible households can receive up to S$760 in U-Save rebates and up to 3.5 months of S&CC rebates, depending on their flat type. Eligible households do not need to take any action. The U-Save rebates will be credited directly to their utility accounts with SP Services, while the S&CC rebates will go straight into their respective town councils. Residents who want to check their eligibility for S&CC rebates can log in to My HDBPage on the HDB InfoWEB using their SingPass. /TISG Read also: Over 950,000 eligible Singaporeans to receive first U-Save and S&CC rebates this April, but netizen says it's 'temporary handouts meant to sway votes' Featured image by Depositphotos (for illustration purposes only)

Depending on their HDB flat type, eligible households will receive up to $190 in U-Save for their utility bills, and a maximum of a month of rebates for their service and conservancy charges (S&CC), the Ministry of Finance said in a statement on June 30.

The following households are not eligible for the S&CC rebate: Those with no Singaporean flat owner or occupier in the flat Those whose flat owners or essential occupiers own or hold interest in a private property Those who have rented out the entire flat To check on their eligibility for S&CC rebates, members of the public can log in to the My HDBPage with their Singpass.
