Is the displayed train platform number always accurate?

The train platform information provided by Indian railways is usually accurate, although occasionally its accuracy might be compromised by a station master's last-minute change of platform. We are all aware that the train platform number is chosen by the station master before an hour rather than being announced in advance. However, occasionally they change the train platform number without giving any advance notification owing to too many trains in the station. Train platform locator displays the platform number based on the train's past arrival and departure information, so you only need to check it with the railway enquiry counter or coolies/hawkers to avoid any last-minute hassle.
