Hi Priyanka,
I think the LastmodifiedDate changes when you invoke a trigger on a certain object to act for updating any field.
The only time I found the lastModDate and SysModStamp to be different is when we request SFDC to edit the audit fields like LastModifiedDate for performing legacy data migration.

Thanks
