There are four key components of this scheme:

GSTV – Cash: It is the cash sum deposited into your banking account.

GSTV – U-Save: It is the discount on electricity and water bills, which is credited directly into the SP Services account.

GSTV – MediSave: It is deposited into the CPF MediSave account of elderly persons so that they can afford their health cost.

CDC Vouchers: They are vouchers you can use at your local shops, hawkers and supermarkets.

All of this together creates a robust safety net that makes life more convenient for most Singaporeans.
