Reprimand for new rebate (6)

I believe the answer is:

berate

'reprimand' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'new rebate' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'rebate' with letters rearranged gives 'BERATE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for berate that I've seen before include "Carpet" , "Reprimand" , "Rebuke" , "Scold, censure" , "Scold or chide severely" .)
