In my view, you should speak to GST Helpdesk.

Agree with Ganeshan sir. Better to also write a letter to the department regarding the same so that they do not allege fraud/suppression in future.

AI Summary

GST cash ledger adjustment: contact helpdesk and request departmental correction to remove refunded cess balance.
Mistaken payment to the cess ledger instead of SGST resulted in a residual cess balance despite the department refund; the practical remedy is to contact the GST helpdesk and submit a written communication to the tax authority so the department can acknowledge the refund and effect the ledger correction to show nil cess.
