Bonjour Nabeel !
Here both versions are correct :)
Using "l'on" is considered more elegant, as it's an antiquated version of "on", but both are perfectly acceptable.
Here's our partner LawlessFrench's page on the subject:

I was taught that it is preferable to add the l before the on (l'on) because qu'on sounds like con which would be very very rue.
