  In reply to the Comment made by M. V. Chushnyakova et al. on our paper [Phys.
Rev. C 101, 044603 (2020)], we argue that the calculations, results and
conclusions of our paper remain valid. We have shown here the calculations for
one reaction using the deformed densities and the R3Y nucleon-nucleon potential
obtained within the relativistic mean-field (RMF) formalism. Suitable
clarications and justifications are given to address all the points raised in
the Comment.
