Those points are regularly updated by the server which is located at the headquarters. The monitoring points gives information about train arrival and departure timings.This process is automated.

For the span of every 5 minutes, the map is updated. Although there will be time lag of 5 minutes, the information which you receive that contains the train location. 

What benefit does website get?

According to Indian government statement, they said that the project is completely designed to help the people without benefits from it. If you have anymore doubts, then you can check the frequently asked questions sections on their website itself.
