i am getting 0.7 error on negative clipping.Is there any possible modification that we can make to the below circuit to eliminate that error 0.7v.

The 0.7V you're seeing is not an "error"; it's simply the forward voltage of the diode. A diode does not clip perfectly; as well as the forward voltage, there's the effective resistance.

But you can reduce the voltage offset by connecting the diode's cathode to a voltage source of -0.7V relative to 0V. In other words, disconnect the diode's anode from the 0V rail, and connect a 0.7V voltage source with its positive terminal to the 0V rail and its negative terminal to the anode of the diode.
