    <sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="1440" />

As per above in web.config, the project works correctly in local host. In remote, the timeout is happening when 20 minutes is over. Why is this so? How could it be rectified at remote?

this is due to the default InProc timeout is 20min , it is set in IIS ,
go to ISS mngr > default site > select your site > select session time out Option and choose InProc,Serververstate ,Sqlserver Or custom and set the interval ,it automatically Update our time out section in WebConfig

After uploading the web.config file restart the IIS server for taking effect your web.config changes.Try that. :)

Log-in to your remote IIS server then Click Start, click Run type IISReset, and then click OK.
