Are railways timeliness numbers accurate/fudged

I totally identify with 2 posts in last 2 days questioning train timeliness.

I have noted multiple times in the last 6 months that before a train actually arrives the train system starts showing it as arrived on govt status website as well as via sms status check. In reality, train arrives late sometimes 30 mins late. Even if you look at status later, it shows the original arrived time and not the actual time.

Question is - is train timeliness for reporting purposes using this fake reported time. If thats the case, the numbers are fudged.

Id like to hear from railway officials.. on this or the circles via its media partners to take up this issue on national tv more
