A timestamp is the time at which an event is recorded by a computer it is not the time of the event itself. In many cases, the difference may be inconsequential: the time at which an event is recorded by a timestamp (e.g., entered into a log file ) should be very, very close to the time of the occurrence of the event recorded.
In some cases, a timestamp can be just the numbering of events, the use of a date_time format to store a timestamp is then not mandatory.

Subhani,

suggest you read some documentation about your subject.

as you see, you only receive very general and somewhat useless replies,
to your question.

A timestamp is the time at which an event is recorded by a computer
such dribble.

you copied the definition from WIKI about digital timestamps.

from the same source, the accurate definition of a timestamp:
A timestamp is a sequence of characters or encoded information identifying when a certain event occurred, usually giving date and time of day, sometimes accurate to a small fraction of a second
