well, they have slightly diffferent meanings. So each is correct, in its own place.
A friend might say to me, " The party starts at 4 PM. You are usually late, be sure to be on time. this is important."
i might say, " the wedding march was starting to play as i got to her wedding. I was just in time."
each of those uses is correct.
"on time" has more of a feeling of a specific time, by the clock.
"in time" has more of a feel of getting to something or someplace before something happens.

BOTH are correct depending on how you are using it.
"ON TIME" is used when you are talking about punctuality or.. NOT being late.
For example : "the bus is running ON TIME" which means it is not late.
"IN TIME" is used when you are talking about a period or a measure of time.
For example: "The drummer is playing in time with the rest of the orchestra", "the secrets recipe of the Egyptian crocodile stew was lost somewhere in time past"
Hope this helps

Both forms are correct...it depends on the context...the previous is right...
He made it in time( he arrived at the right time)
He came on time( at a certain time)

They have different answers
In time refers to the future as in: In time the work will be done.
On time refers to a definite result as in
I got the work done on time.

It all depends......
In time for example is like " In time you will get the possition you always wanted"
While on time is for example " Make sure you are on time for your driving lessons"
You see the difference?

hi, your English is advantageous. i might in simple terms advise one tiny replace: "each and all the specs are in accordance with our business corporation's specs and/or JIS, until in any different case expressly reported." Or probable "... in accordance with business corporation coverage ..."

Start IN TIME to be on your ON TIME.One is subjective and the other definitive.
