On time :

Doing something "on time" means meeting an appointment, or meeting a time that has been set by someone.

For example:
I hardly ever get to work on time.
Peter wants to start the meeting on time.

In time :

Doing something "in time" means doing it before a deadline, or doing it before it becomes unavailable:

For Example:
The ambulance arrived just in time at the accident spot.
If you don't submit your project in time, you will be fired.

If you make a mistake with choosing "on time" or "in time", it's not a big problem. Other English speakers might notice your mistake, but they probably won't get upset about it.
