   L1 \cap Li \neq \Phi

But i constantly get error and non of the symbols gets displayed. what am i doing wrong. (i am using XeLatex as there are both English and urdu Fonts in my article)

It works for me if I complete your code to create a minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}
\[
   L1 \cap Li \neq \Phi
\]
\end{document}

initial result

Admittedly, this isn't yet quite right because it does not look quite like the target set of symbols.

To obtain a subscript in a mathematical expression, just use L_{<subscript>}. To obtain the lowercase Greek letter, use \phi rather than \Phi.

\[
   L_1 \cap L_i \neq \phi
\]

second pass

EDIT

In light of Heiko Oberdiek's comment, for the final symbol, I'm not entirely clear which one you want but I suspect that Heiko may be right. In any case, here's a selection to choose from:

\[
   \phi \Phi \varphi \emptyset \varnothing
\]

Greek letters and empty sets
