• 3-room flats: Up to S$680
• 4-room flats: Up to S$600

Eligibility Criteria for 2025 U-Save Rebates

Eligibility for the rebates is assessed automatically based on household income and flat type. No application is needed for most households. However, to qualify:

• At least one household member must be a Singapore citizen
• Monthly household income must not exceed S$3,400 per capita
• You must be living in an HDB flat and have an SP Services utility account

Households that own more than one property are not eligible, even if other conditions are met. This ensures that support is targeted at those with genuine needs.

📊 Insight: Many first-time applicants often wonder if they need to submit documents — but the process is automated if your household income is already on file with government agencies like IRAS or CPF Board.

💡 Wondering How to Receive the Rebates?

The great news is: you don’t need to apply manually for the U-Save rebates if you’re eligible. Rebates are credited automatically to your SP Group utility account every quarter. You’ll see the credit reflected as a deduction in your monthly bill.

1. Check your eligibility using Singpass via [govbenefits.gov.sg](https://www.govbenefits.gov.sg)
2. Look for “U-Save Rebates” under GST Voucher status
3. Monitor your utility bill to confirm the rebate deduction

If your eligibility status isn’t updated or you’ve had recent changes in income, you may submit an appeal through the MOF website.

📌 Tip: Rebates are not transferable or redeemable for cash — they strictly offset your SP utility bill. Be sure to monitor your statements quarterly.

When Are the 2025 U-Save Rebates Disbursed?

Rebates for 2025 are spread across four quarters, helping households manage their budget consistently throughout the year. Here’s the payout schedule:

Disbursement Month	Eligible Flat Types	Rebate Amount
January 2025	All eligible HDB flats	S$110 – S$190
April 2025	All eligible HDB flats	S$110 – S$190
July 2025	All eligible HDB flats	S$110 – S$190
October 2025	All eligible HDB flats	S$110 – S$190

This means households in 1- and 2-room flats could receive up to S$190 every quarter, helping to substantially reduce their monthly utility costs.
