More than one million Singaporean households living in HDB flats will receive U-Save rebates and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in July 2026, helping families reduce monthly utility and estate maintenance costs.
The Ministry of Finance (MOF) announced that the rebates are part of Singapore’s permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) Scheme, which provides quarterly financial assistance to eligible lower- and middle-income households. The July payout is the second quarterly disbursement for the 2026 financial year.
What Will Eligible Households Receive?
Depending on the HDB flat type, eligible households can receive:
- Up to S$190 in U-Save rebates
- Up to one month of Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates
These rebates are designed to offset:
- Electricity bills
- Water utility costs
- Town council service and conservancy charges
The exact rebate amount varies according to the type of HDB flat occupied.
Total Benefits Available in FY2026
Throughout the 2026 financial year, eligible households can receive substantial government support, including:
- Up to S$570 in U-Save rebates
- Up to 3.5 months of S&CC rebates
The quarterly payouts are scheduled for:
- April 2026
- July 2026
- October 2026
- January 2027
This ongoing assistance helps Singapore households better manage rising utility expenses and everyday living costs.
No Application Required
One of the biggest advantages of the GST Voucher scheme is that eligible households do not need to apply.
The rebates will be credited automatically:
| U-Save rebates | Deposited directly into the household’s SP Services utilities account. |
| S&CC rebates | Credited directly to the respective Town Council account. |
Residents simply need to be eligible under the scheme, and the rebates will be processed automatically.
Who is Eligible?
Eligibility generally depends on several factors, including:
- Living in an eligible HDB flat
- Meeting citizenship requirements
- Household property ownership status
- Other conditions under the GST Voucher Scheme
Households with members owning multiple properties may not qualify for U-Save rebates, while separate eligibility rules also apply to S&CC rebates.

With utility costs continuing to affect household budgets, the July 2026 rebates provide meaningful relief for many Singapore families. By automatically reducing electricity, water, and estate maintenance expenses, the government aims to ease the cost of living while ensuring the support reaches eligible households quickly and efficiently.
The automatic crediting process also eliminates paperwork, making it easier for residents to receive assistance without submitting applications.
