In total, eligible households will receive between S$440 and S$760 in U-save rebates for the 2023 financial year.
MOF estimates that this will help offset about eight to 10 months’ worth of utility bills for those staying in 1- and 2-room flats.
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.
Eligible households will also receive S&CC rebates in the same months as their U-Save payouts.
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.
