The government will extend and increase the rebates on HDB Service and Conservancy (S&C) charges and rentals granted over recent years to Singaporeans living in rented and owner-occupied HDB flats. The new package will be the most generous to date.

Households living in 1-room flats will receive rental rebates of $12 per month, rebates for S&C charges of $8 per month, four months' net rent and five months' net S&C charges.

Households living in 2-room flats will receive rental rebates of $8 per month, rebates for S&C charges of $7 per month, two months' net rent and four months' net S&C charges.

Households which live in 3-room flats will be given rebates of $4 per month for S&C charges and four months' net S&C charges.

As for households living in 4-room and 5-room flats, they will be entitled to three months and two months of net S&C charges respectively. More details can be found in Annex 3.

The estimated cost of the entire package of rebates is $107 million. Low-income households which do not live in HDB flats can continue to receive help from the Citizens Consultative Committees (CCCs) Assistance Scheme.
