With standard versions of crontab, you can't do it in one line. (You could do 12:15 and 21:15 in a single line; but not 12:30 and 21:00.) Some implementations of crontab may accept time specifications that are extensions to the requirements of the standards. Use man crontab on your system to see if your implementation's version of crontab provides an extension that might do what you want.

Better if you write 2 entries in cron for the two different timings .
