  We reply to the comments (arXiv:1605.07499 [nucl-th]) on "Structure effects
in the $^{15}$N($n,\gamma$)$^{16}$N radiative capture reaction from the Coulomb
dissociation of $^{16}$N". We have investigated the issue of "energy dependence
of branching ratios" and believe that this energy dependence is due to the
proper inclusion of the non-resonant continuum in the post-form reaction
theory. Interestingly, this energy dependence is sensitive to the relative
orbital angular momentum content of the state. We reiterate that we have
attempted to resolve the discrepancy in the spectroscopic factors of low-lying
$^{16}$N levels and that it is essential to know the low energy
$^{15}$N($n,\gamma$)$^{16}$N capture cross section, especially below 0.25 MeV.
