On is ur answer
Ｅｘｐｌａｎａｔｉｏｎ:-
In common usage 'on' is used for locative sense.
As in on the table, on the tree. To demonstrate the location of something, in and on are used. But to congratulate someone, “on” doesn't mean locative. “On” here means context or occasion or subject.
Say I got 80 marks in English. Here English isn't an object in which physically the marks are present. This locative can be used in 3 types: Aupashleshika (referring to physical location), Vaisheyika (Subjective ie related to or in the subject/context/meaning/intent of a certain thing) and last is Abhivyapaka (widespread) like God is in Everyone.
Examples of Vaisheshika are
1. He is interested in Music.
2. He wished you on your birthday.
3. I congratulate you on your success.
Here, on isn't referring to a physical object and is not denoting the location of the 1st object on the 2nd object. But, it denotes a Vishaya or a Topic, where in which someone is referring.
Where, using for in this case would also not be wrong, but the meaning would be different. For means, I should have someone else present. I cook food for you. For isn't used in subjects or topics, it can be used towards someone or something. So, for success would mean I congratulate him towards his success,
Like, take this for example, I am doing this for “success” means I have a purpose. Without purpose I wouldn't work hard. Success is an actual thing now. Success isn't my topic of conversation or subject. But in this case, “Success” isn't an actual thing for which I am congratulating. I have no purpose of it. It's just a topic I am referring to. Hence “On”.
