Over 950,000 Singaporean households to receive up to $150 utility bill rebates next month

Eligible households will also receive up to one month of service and conservancy charges (S&CC) rebates, with the amount of both rebates varying by HDB flat type, The Straits Times reported, citing a statement by the Ministry of Finance on Monday.

For instance, those in one- or two-room flats will receive S$190 in utility rebates and a full month of S&CC rebates while households in executive or multi-generation units will get S$110 and half a month, respectively.

HDB flats house around 80% of Singapore’s resident population. S&CC are fees that households in these flats pay to town councils, which go towards estate cleaning, landscaping, waste collection, pest control and maintenance of mechanical and electrical fixtures.

Households are not eligible if members own more than one property or if they do not include at least one Singaporean owner or occupier, the finance ministry said, as quoted by AsiaOne.

Those who qualify will receive the rebates automatically through their accounts with grid operator SP Services and town councils.

The S&CC and U-Save utility rebates are part of government support measures to help alleviate cost-of-living pressures for Singaporeans, according to Channel News Asia.

Distributed quarterly in April, July, October, and January, these rebates help offset expenses for lower- to middle-income HDB households.

According to the finance ministry, eligible households could get up to S$760 in utility rebates and as much as three-and-a-half months of S&CC rebates in the 2025 financial year, which runs from April 2025 to March 2026.
