ubuntu version shows 14.04.1 but I installed 14.04.3

Question

I recently checked using the command uname -a and this was the output

Linux darkheart-Aspire-5610 3.19.0-26-generic #28~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 12 14:12:35 UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

Now my question is I installed 14.04.3 lts , then why it shows 14.04.1 ?

This is not a correct way to check the version.

uname -a gave you the kernel build information and it is correct for 14.04.3.

To see the Ubuntu version run

cat /etc/lsb-release

Open terminal and run the following command to know version:

lsb_release -a

Sample Output:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu  
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS   
Release:    14.04   
Codename:   trusty

You can also use the following command:

cat /etc/os-release | grep VERSION=

But your main question is about #28~14.04.1 for that please refer here @Eliah Kagan answer
