Over 950,000 Singaporean households living in HDB flats can look forward to some financial relief in October. They will be receiving rebates on both their U-Save (utility bills) and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) as part of the government’s financial support program.

- Increased U-Save for 2024
- S&CC Rebates too
- No Action Needed, Automatic Credits
This initiative is designed to ease the burden of the recent rise in Goods and Services Tax (GST) and living expenses, particularly for lower and middle-income households. The rebates are distributed quarterly, and October marks the third disbursement for the 2024 financial year.
This year offers a special boost! As announced in Budget 2024, there’s an additional U-Save to help manage the rise in utility costs.
Depending on your HDB flat type, you can receive up to S$190 in October. Eligible households will get 2.5 times the regular U-Save amount, which can add up to S$950 for FY2024. This translates to covering around 8 months of utility bills for those living in 1- and 2-room flats, and about 4 months for 3- and 4-room flats.

On top of the U-Save, households will also receive up to 1 month of S&CC rebates in October. Altogether, this represents a total of up to 4 months of S&CC rebates for FY2024. Specific details on the S&CC rebate amounts are available in the table below.
The good news is, you don’t have to do anything to claim these rebates! The U-Save will be automatically credited to your SP Services utilities account. The S&CC rebates will be reflected in your S&CC account managed by your Town Council.
You can find general information on the government benefits website.
