The general tab seems to show the operating system's "view" of the file. For
example, if you send me a file you created on 1 Jan 2006 and I save it to my
local HDD, the General tab will tell me that the creation date is today (as this
particular file WAS created today). The Statistics tab creation date will be 1
Jan 2006, the date the presentation (as opposed to the file containing it) was
created.
I'm not sure about the other items you report, as they don't appear in my copy
of PowerPoint 2003.
On the General tab I have:
Created
Modified
Accessed
On the Summary tab ... no dates
On the Statistics tab:
Created
Modified
Accessed
Printed
Modified and Accessed are the same on the files I've looked at, but bear in mind
that renaming, moving or otherwise "touching" the files via Windows, the
Operating System or any program other than PPT may affect what you see on the
General tab w/o changing the Statistics data.

Reminder to self and Aasim: It always helps to give the specific steps you took to
get where you've been. ;-)
I'm reporting on what I see when I view PowerPoint's Document Properties feature.
You're rightclicking the file in Windows Explorer and choosing Properties.
That explains the different tabs we're seeing, and makes some of the other
discrepancies clearer.
Viewing the properties of the file via Win Explorer resets the General/Accessed and
Modified dates. If you look once, then close the dialog and then look again, you'll
see both set to today's date/time.
The information on the Summary tab is set by PowerPoint/Office and shouldn't change
except when you actually open the file in PPT and modify/print/save it.
