@monikarao you may want to check the Screen Options in wp-admin/nav-menus.php
, and see if Tags and Format are checked.
@westonruter shouldn't these Screen Options be synced in the Customizer?

There is a screen option for this in the old admin interface (if we still haven't, we should really add a big warning there about using the customizer so that you can live preview, among other things).
These screen options are intentionally excluded from the customizer, due to the generally poor user experience of screen options. The nav menu item options were brought over as a prototype for "panel options" in the ccustomizer, although this pattern has not been used elsewhere in core. It was determined that options would not be necessary for taxonomies and post types, as the proper use of show_in_nav_menus
when registering the post type or taxonomy would automatically handle this without individual user interaction (decisions, not options).
Unless there is a compelling argument to revisit that design approach, I suggest closing this ticket. I haven't seen any other suggestions for this yet, and the feature is several years old now.
