As for those staying in 3- and 4-room flats, MOF estimates that the payouts will be equivalent to four to six months’ worth of utility bills.
Up to 3.5 months’ S&CC rebates for eligible households

These payouts will similarly vary depending on the type of HDB flat the receiving household is staying in.
Adding up the four tranches, eligible households will receive up to 3.5 months’ worth of S&CC rebates for the 2023 financial year.
