URL is self canonicalize and marked as index follow. But not getting cached and also GSC is showing page not found on google. Though the page is present in sitemap and sitemap is crawled by google.

Hi meghu143 and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

Is it possible that the self canonicalize tag uses a different form of the domain? The canonical meta tag should follow the same form as shown in the GSC account:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/document.html">
so if your GSC account was created for a different form of URL such as https://example.com (without www.) it would be seen as a different site and not available in the https://example.com GSC account.

Are you using any kind of settings to control cache?

not2easy is correct.
Make sure you have the canonical link very specific to the https:// and the domain www or non www. Make sure your tag is specific and make sure that non SSL and either www or non www redirects to the correct one you want to use.

Had this issue with one site, then I realized the www.example.com was not doing a 301 redirect to the non example.com version.
