[Fixed]-Django template form not saving data

Almost certainly the form is not valid, but you’re not using it in your template so there is no way for it to display errors, or redisplay itself with partially-filled fields.

The Django documentation is fairly explicit on this, so I don’t know why you have done something different. Pass the form into your context:

d['form'] = SalesForm
return render(request, 'm1/add_doc_info.html', d)

and use it in the template:

{{ form.errors }}
<form action="" method="post" id="salesform">
    {% csrf_token %}

    {{ form.name }}
    {{ form.clinic_name }} 
    {{ form.phone }}
    {{ form.email }}
    <button id="sub" type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>

(Note also you’ve unnecessarily defined all the fields explicitly in the form, but also stated you are only using two of them in the meta class; also your is_valid block is mostly unnecessary as you can just call form.save() directly. Again, all this is shown fully in the documentation.)
