Quick Summary
This discussion addresses an issue where a negative balance in the GSTR 4 cash ledger, stemming from un-reported liabilities in previous financial years, prevents filing. The negative balance was adjusted in CMP-08 payments and subsequently transferred to the cash ledger, creating the problem. The CBIC advisory suggests depositing the amount to enable filing, with the option to claim any excess CMP-08 payments as a refund.

Dear Deepank

In this regard cbic has released the Advisory.
The balance in Negative liability which has been adjusted while filling CMP 08 for Fy 2020-21 has been transferred to Cash Ledger by department on 25/04/2022 due which there stand negative cash balance in cash ledger , which not allow to file GSTR 4 ,
So in advisory it being stated that you need to deposit the same which enables you to furnish your annual return & any cash deposited by you while filling CMP-08 during the year , can be claimed as refund.
