The S&CC rebate was introduced to provide additional support to HDB households.

Around 840,000 Singaporean HDB households will get $86 million worth of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in 2016, announced the Ministry of Finance on Friday, 29 April.

Depending on the flat type, each eligible household will receive one to three months of S&CC rebates as follows.

The rebate will directly offset a household’s S&CC payment. For those who pay their S&CC via GIRO, their town councils will coordinate with the banks to take the rebates into account.

The S&CC rebate was announced in Budget 2016 to provide additional assistance to Singaporeans, and will be disbursed over the months of May, July, and October.

For enquiries on their S&CC payment and account status, residents can contact their respective town councils. For questions on rebate eligibility, they may call the HDB at 1800-866-3078, or email sccrebates@mailbox.hdb.gov.sg.
