Around 880,000 Singaporean HDB households can expect to receive $120 million worth of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in FY2017.
The S&CC rebate was announced during Budget 2017 to provide additional support to households.
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 2017, July 2017, October 2017 and January 2018 as follows:
| HDB Flat Type | FY2017 S&CC Rebate (no. of months) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 2017 | July 2017 | October 2017 | January 2018 | Total for FY2017 | |
| 1- and 2-room | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0.5 | 3.5 |
| 3- and 4-room | 1 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 2.5 |
| 5-room | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | 2 |
| Executive/ Multi-Generation | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0.5 | – | 1.5 |
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.
For enquiries on their S&CC payment and account status, residents can contact their respective Town Councils. Residents can also contact the Enquiries Line 1800-866-3078 (Mondays to Fridays, 8.30am to 5pm), or email sccrebates[at]mailbox.hdb.gov.sg regarding their household’s S&CC rebate eligibility.
