Service and Conservancy (S&CC) Rebate: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides a way for certain households to receive an offset to help with the cost of their monthly conservancy charges.

👤Who it's for

This rebate is designed specifically for HDB households. If you live in an HDB flat, you may be eligible for this assistance to help manage the ongoing costs associated with your estate's maintenance.

🎁What you get

The primary benefit of this scheme is an offset for your monthly service and conservancy charges (often referred to as S&CC). These charges are the fees paid to ensure the upkeep and cleanliness of your living environment. By providing this rebate, the government aims to help reduce the financial burden of these essential monthly service fees for HDB residents.

💰What it costs you

There is no out-of-pocket cost to you to receive this benefit. You do not need to prepare a payment or a fee to access the rebate. Instead, the rebate is managed as an automatic credit that is applied directly to your town council account. This means the money is credited to your account to reduce the amount you owe for your estate maintenance.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that this scheme is restricted by the type of housing you live in. It is intended only for those in HDB properties and does not apply to residents living in private residential properties. If your home is not an HDB flat, you will not receive this specific offset.

📝How to apply

Because this credit is handled automatically, the process is straightforward:

1. Confirm that your household is an HDB household.
2. Ensure your housing status is correctly registered with the relevant authorities.
3. Check your town council account statements to verify that the credit has been applied to your monthly charges.
4. Contact your local town council if you have specific questions regarding your account balance or the status of your credit.
