The code seems to be working fine when i executed it in my system. I would suggest you to remove the if statement and execute the code to check and see what value is being assigned to @ti variable. Then you can manually check if the value falls between the @intime and @Outime range.

It seems the will work only in your system as the following part will not run in every culture.

SQL

SELECT @ti = CONVERT(CHAR(2), DATEPART(hour, GETDATE())) + ':' + CONVERT(CHAR(2), DATEPART(mi, GETDATE())) 
	       + ':' + CONVERT(CHAR(2), DATEPART(S, GETDATE()))

You know different culture has different date time settings. Preparing time/date by concatenation will give you wrong result in different culture. Anyway use the following code

SQL

DECLARE @ti TIME(7)
	DECLARE @intime     TIME(7),
	        @outime     TIME(7)
	
	SET @intime = '10:10:00'
	SET @outime = '15:30:20'
	
	/*
	SELECT @ti = CONVERT(CHAR(2), DATEPART(hour, GETDATE())) + ':' + CONVERT(CHAR(2), DATEPART(mi, GETDATE())) 
	       + ':' + CONVERT(CHAR(2), DATEPART(S, GETDATE()))
	       */
	
	SET @ti=CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),GETDATE(),108)
		
	IF @ti BETWEEN @intime AND @outime
	BEGIN
	    SELECT @ti
	END

Hope it will work for you.
