Reprimand for new rebate (6)
I believe the answer is:
berate
'reprimand' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'new rebate' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rebate' is an anagram of 'BERATE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for berate that I've seen before include "Carpet" , "Reprimand" , "Rebuke" , "Scold, censure" , "Scold or chide severely" .)
