If interest is already discharged at the time of filing 2018-19 GSTR-3B, interest didn't be discharged again.

The amount being in cash ledger doesn't mean that, the same is deposited to government. The same has to be transferred to government at the time of filing monthly returns or by filing DRC-03. And

In Cash ledger whether the amount is in tax head or interest head?

If the amount of Cash is in Interest, the same can be discharged to government through DRC-03.

If the same is in tax head the same can be transfered to interest by filing PMT-08 and discharged through DRC-03.
