The Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) Rebate is part of the Goods and Services Tax Voucher (GSTV) scheme in Singapore and aims to help lower- to middle-income households with their cost of living.
In FY2025, eligible Singaporean households residing in HDB flats will receive S&CC rebates of between 1.5 months and 3.5 months, depending on the flat type.
The S&CC rebate is one payment making timely delivery on a quarterly basis to the most vulnerable among the public, addressing those coming to terms with soaring gas and electricity rates in efforts to lessen the cost of utilities for approved residents.
Payout Schedule for FY 2025:
S&CC rebates for FY 2025 are paid out on a quarterly basis, according to the following schedule:
Month Rebate Month
April 2025 First payout
July 2025 Second payout
October 2025 Third payout
January 2026 Final payout
S&CC Rebate Amount Updates
Households in Singapore will receive S&CC rebates totaling up to $950 in 2025, subject to eligibility. The S&CC rebate is given based on the size of the household and the type of HDB flat the recipient stays in.
| Type Of HDB Flate | S&CC Rebate Amount 2025 |
| 1 & 2 Rooms | Up to $950 |
| 3 Rooms | Up to $850 |
| 4 Rooms | Up to $750 |
| 5 Rooms | Up to $650 |
| Executive and Multi-generation | Up to $550 |
This is worth noting because these rebates are only given three times a year — once in March, April, July, and March — and each payment plan accounts for up to four months of utility costs. This mechanism ensures an evenly spread annual cash inflow for your investments.
