800k households set to receive S$77m worth of S&CC rebates
-
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.
