Singapore residents can look forward to a timely financial boost as the government rolls out another round of Community Development Council (CDC) Vouchers this month. Worth a total of S$300, the 2025 CDC Voucher Scheme aims to ease the burden of daily expenses for all Singaporean households while supporting heartland merchants and hawkers.
This initiative is part of the Assurance Package, which was introduced to help Singaporeans cope with higher living costs, including inflation and GST increases. The voucher scheme not only provides direct financial relief but also reinforces the community economy by encouraging spending in local neighbourhoods.
Eligibility Criteria and Automatic Issuance
Every Singaporean household is eligible for the S$300 CDC Vouchers, regardless of income level, housing type, or family size. There’s no need to submit any application vouchers are issued digitally via Singpass login on the official CDC website.
Each household will receive a unique voucher link sent via SMS to the registered mobile number of one household member. The link allows the household to claim their vouchers and share them with other family members if needed.
How the S$300 Vouchers Are Structured
The S$300 is split into two separate categories: one for use at participating heartland merchants and hawkers, and the other at major supermarkets. This dual-use structure ensures both local businesses and national retail chains benefit.
S$300 CDC Vouchers – Breakdown and Usage
| Voucher Category | Amount Allocated | Where to Spend |
|---|---|---|
| Heartland Vouchers | S$150 | Hawker stalls, minimarts, salons, repair shops, etc. |
| Supermarket Vouchers | S$150 | NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Prime, Giant, Cold Storage |
Residents can choose to scan QR codes displayed by participating merchants or supermarkets to make payments directly using the vouchers. Alternatively, printed versions of the vouchers are also available at Community Centres for residents who need offline support.
Where and How to Use Your CDC Vouchers
CDC Vouchers are accepted at over 23,000 participating outlets across Singapore. These include wet markets, neighbourhood provision shops, and many local services such as laundry or tailoring. Popular supermarket chains like NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, and Cold Storage also participate in the scheme.
To use the vouchers, residents simply scan the merchant’s QR code and select the voucher amount to be deducted from their total bill. The unused balance can be used later until the expiry date.
When and Why to Redeem Now
The vouchers will be valid for use immediately upon claim and will typically remain valid until December 31, 2025. Redeeming them early ensures families can benefit from discounts on everyday essentials like groceries, meals, and services.
This distribution aligns with the government’s broader social policies of strengthening community ties and helping Singaporeans stay resilient through inflationary pressures. It is also a way to support the survival and vibrancy of heartland businesses that form the backbone of many local economies.
