Boric acid is a monobasic weak acid. It does not liberate $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ion but accepts electrons from $\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ion.
$$
\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{BO}_3+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_4^{-}+\mathrm{H}^{+}

$$
\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{BO}_3+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{B}(\mathrm{OH})_4^{-}+\mathrm{H}^{+}
