Press Releases

  More than 950,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats will receive U-Save and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in October 2024 as part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme. These rebates help to provide support for GST and cost-of-living expenses for lower- to middle-income households, and are disbursed in April, July, October, and January each year. The rebates in October 2024 will be the third 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 October, eligible households will receive up to $190 worth of U-Save, depending on their HDB flat type. 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  In October, eligible households will also receive up to 1 month of S&CC rebates, depending on their HDB flat type. In total, eligible households will receive up to 4 months of S&CC rebates in FY2024. 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.
