$120 million Service and Conservancy Charges rebates for 880,000 HDB households in 2017

The Ministry of Finance announced on Thursday (30 Mar) around 880,000 Singaporean HDB households can expect to receive $120 million worth of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in 2017. Residents can expect to get their debates from 1 April 2017.
The S&CC rebate was announced during Budget 2017 to provide additional support to households.
Depending on the HDB flat type, each eligible Singaporean household will receive between 1.5 to 3.5 months of S&CC rebate. Eligible households will receive a letter from end-March with more details of the S&CC rebate, the Ministry of Finance mentioned in its statement.
The rebate will be disbursed over the months of April 2017, July 2017, October 2017 and January 2018 as follows:

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, their Town Councils will make the necessary arrangements with their banks.
In 2016, $86 million worth of S&CC rebates was given to around 840,000 HDB flats.
For enquiries on S&CC payment and account status, residents can contact their respective Town Councils.
Residents can also contact the general enquiries line at 1800-866-3078 (Mondays to Fridays, 8.30am to 5pm), or email regarding their household’s S&CC rebate eligibility, the ministry said.
