Disbursement month | HDB flat type | |||||
1-Room | 2-Room | 3-Room | 4-Room | 5-Room | Executive Flats | |
Jul 2011 | $90 | $90 | $50 | $45 | $30 | $20 |
Jan 2012 | $90 | $90 | $50 | $45 | $30 | $20 |
3. The U-Save rebates in July are the third tranche for 2011. The rebates were enhanced in the 2011 Government Budget, and the enhancements will more than offset the annual increase in utilities bills due to the higher electricity and gas tariffs announced for the coming quarter. The total amount of U-Save rebates received by Singaporean households in 2011 will in fact offset more than 4 months of utilities bills for families living in 1- and 2-room flats; those living in all other HDB flats will benefit from at least 1 month’s offset of their utilities bills.
