The logs says that the last block 6914226 is already synced. But when I trying to get last synced block via rpc I am getting 0

How can I solve this issue ?

Answer 1

The logs says that the last block 6914226 is already synced.

That's not true.

As long as you see in the logs INFO [xx-xx|xx:xx:xx] Imported new state entries .... the network is syncing.

You can check progress with command eth.syncing(from the geth console), if syncing is on going you must see:

{                         
  "currentBlock": xxxxxxx,  
  "highestBlock": xxxxxxx,  
  "knownStates": xxxxxxx,   
  "pulledStates": xxxxxxx,  
  "startingBlock": xxxxxxx  
} 

When process is complete you'll see INFO [xx-xx|xx:xx:xx] Imported new chain segment ... entries in the log.
