I have already tried the top 2 of most-voted answers to How to force a clock update using ntp? but none has worked.
Using ntpdate doesn't show any logs, and exits just fine, while ntpd gives the following output:

and carries on without stopping for a long time. Yet none of these work. What should I do?
Using timedatectl provides:
Local time: Fri 2016-11-04 13:56:00 IST
Universal time: Fri 2016-11-04 08:26:00 UTC
RTC time: Fri 2016-11-04 08:26:00
Time zone: Asia/Kolkata (IST, +0530)
Network time on: yes
NTP synchronized: yes
RTC in local TZ: no
when the actual time is 20:26:00 IST or 14:56:00 UTC.
