Abstract: In "Comment on Supersymmetry, PT-symmetry and spectral bifurcation" cite{BQ1}, Bagchi and Quesne correctly show the presence of a class of states for the complex Scarf-II potential in the unbroken PT-symmetry regime, which were absent in cite{AP}. However, in the spontaneously broken PT-symmetry case, their argument is incorrect since it fails to implement the condition for the potential to be PT-symmetric: $C^{PT}[2(A-B)+alpha]=0$. It needs to be emphasized that in the models considered in cite{AP}, PT is spontaneously broken, implying that the potential is PT- symmetric, whereas the ground state is not. Furthermore, our supersymmetry (SUSY)-based 'spectral bifurcation' holds extit{independent} of the $sl(2)$ symmetry consideration for a large class of PT-symmetric potentials.
