In reply to the comment by Geshev we emphasize that loop shift in the compounds is not a simplified phenomenon of minor loop effect of a ferromagnet rather, it is a genuine signature of exchange bias effect. The estimate of anisotropy field and the plot of exchange bias field at 5 K with the maximum field used for the measurement of hysteresis loop, in addition to the previously reported results such as temperature dependence of exchange bias field, training effect, etc, confirm the exchange bias effect.
