Around 800,000 Singaporean HDB households can expect to receive about $80 million worth of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebate in 2015. The S&CC rebate was announced during Budget 2015 to help households cope with increases in cost of living.
In total, each eligible Singaporean household will receive one to three months of S&CC rebate, depending on HDB flat type. Eligible households will receive a letter in April with more details of the S&CC rebate. The rebate will be disbursed over the months of April, July and October as follows:

About S&CC Rebate
The S&CC rebate will be used to offset a household’s S&CC payment 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.
Whom the public can contact for more information
For enquiries on their S&CC payment and account status, residents can contact their respective Town Councils. Residents can also contact the Enquiries Line 1800-8663078 (Mondays to Fridays, 8.30am to 5pm), or email sccrebates@mailbox.hdb.gov.sg regarding their household's S&CC rebate eligibility.
