SINGAPORE: Around 800,000 Singaporean HDB households
can expect to receive S$77 million worth of Service &
Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in 2013. These S&CC
rebates were announced during Budget 2013 to help households cope
with increases in the cost of living.
In total, each eligible Singaporean household will
receive one to three months of S&CC rebates, depending on HDB
flat type.
Eligible households will receive a letter in April
with more details of the rebates they will be getting.
The S&CC rebates will be disbursed over the months of April,
July and October, and will be used to offset a household's S&CC
directly.
For households who pay their S&CC through GIRO or any
electronic mode of payment, town councils will arrange with the
banks on the S&CC payments to take the rebates into account.
For enquiries on S&CC payment and account status, residents can
contact their respective town councils.
