Chiasma formation occurs in the diplotene stage but crossing over starts in the pachytene stage. How is that possible? I thought crossing over occurs only after the formation of chiasma.

chiasma does not form in diplotene stage .. it just becomes visible in diplotene stage .. so it may be formed earlier .
