Hi Isha,

Salesforce will only format the phone if your User Locale is set to English (United States) or English (Canada). Otherwise the formatted it is entered in is preserved.

This article should provide you with some answers: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewSolution?id=000181563&language=en_US

You will need to apply your own automatic formatting with a process builder or workflow field update, or trigger. 

Thanks,
Richard.
