  More than 950,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats will receive U-Save and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in July 2024 as part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and the Assurance Package (AP). These rebates help to provide support for GST and cost-of-living expenses for lower- to middle-income households. These are disbursed in April, July, October, and January each year. The rebates in July 2024 will be the second quarterly disbursement for Financial Year (FY) 2024.

  2. As announced at Budget 2024, additional U-Save will be provided to help Singaporean HDB households cope with increases in their utility bills. In total, eligible households will receive 2.5 times the amount of regular U-Save, or up to $950, in FY2024. On average, this will cover about 8 months of utility bills for those living in 1- and 2-room flats, and about 4 months of utility bills for those living in 3- and 4- room flats. The U-Save rebates that eligible households will receive in FY2024 are summarised in Table 1.

  3. Eligible households will also receive up to 4 months of S&CC rebates altogether in FY2024. This includes the one-off Budget 2024 Cost-of-Living S&CC Rebate (“B2024 COL S&CC Rebate”) to offset 0.5 months of S&CC in January 2025. The S&CC rebates that eligible households will receive are summarised in Table 2.

  4. Eligible households do not need to take any action to benefit from the U-Save and S&CC rebates. The U-Save rebates will be credited directly into households’ utilities accounts with SP Services, while the S&CC rebates will be credited directly into households’ S&CC accounts with their respective Town Councils.
