Those who have not previously signed up for the GSTV Scheme can do so at the govbenefits website by July 9. Citizens who sign up after this date and by June 20, 2025, will receive their payments by the end of the following month.

The ministry encouraged citizens to link their NRIC to funds transfer service PayNow by July 22, as this would allow them to receive their handouts in early August. Twelve banks here, including DBS Bank and UOB, are linked to PayNow.

Those without PayNow-NRIC linked bank accounts can update their bank account information at the govbenefits website by July 26.
