October 2024 U-Save and S&CC Rebates has up to 8 months of utility bills covered for HDB households

If you’re living in an HDB flat, October 2024 brings some welcome relief in the form of U-Save and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates. Over 950,000 Singaporean households will benefit from these rebates, which are part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme. This initiative is designed to ease the financial burden of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and other cost-of-living expenses, especially for lower- to middle-income households.

For those who don’t know, these rebates aren’t just a one-time event. They’re disbursed quarterly, with payments in April, July, October, and January. The rebates coming in October 2024 will be the third round of payouts for the Financial Year (FY) 2024. Let’s explore exactly how these rebates can help you save on your utility bills and service charges:

U-Save Rebates for HDB households in October 2024

As part of Budget 2024, additional U-Save rebates were introduced to help you manage rising utility costs. These rebates will be credited directly into your utilities account, meaning you won’t need to worry about extra steps to receive the financial support.

In October 2024, the amount of U-Save rebates you’ll receive will depend on your HDB flat type. If you’re living in a 1- or 2-room flat, you could get up to S$190 in U-Save rebates. For those living in 3- and 4-room flats, the amount will be slightly lower but still substantial, offering important relief.

But there’s more! Throughout FY2024, eligible households can receive up to S$950 in U-Save rebates, which is 2.5 times the regular amount. For households in smaller flats, this could cover up to 8 months of utility bills. For those in 3- and 4-room flats, you’ll have about 4 months of bills covered, providing some real breathing room when it comes to your monthly expenses.

S&CC Rebates for HDB households in October 2024

In addition to U-Save, the S&CC rebates offer another layer of financial support. These rebates help offset your Service & Conservancy Charges, which are fees you pay to your Town Council for services like maintenance and cleaning of common areas.

For October 2024, eligible households will receive up to 1 month of S&CC rebates, depending on the type of flat you live in. Over the entire FY2024, these rebates could cover as much as 4 months of S&CC costs, a significant contribution toward managing your overall living expenses.

No action is required to receive your rebates

One of the best parts about these rebates is that you don’t need to do anything to receive them. Both the U-Save and S&CC rebates will be credited directly into the appropriate accounts without you having to lift a finger.

The U-Save rebates will go directly into your utilities account managed by SP Services, so you’ll see the deduction when your utility bill arrives. Similarly, the S&CC rebates will be credited to your account with your Town Council.

This seamless process ensures you can benefit from the rebates without the hassle of applying or following up.
