Currently it is not possible by HotSpot/User Manager to get 7PM-6AM, I believe this feature will be possible in new User Manager.

Use uptime-limit to set week or month as period for Internet usage.
To allow Internet from 7Pm - 6Am add /firewall filter rule to block traffic from customer network, when time is not 7Pm-6Am, use time option in the /ip firewall filter

I am interested in the above issue. How will it be done in the firewall filter for the hotspot user.

Like sergejs wrote, add a drop action with a time filter. What the rule exactly looks like depends on what your interfaces are called. Assuming the customers are behind interface 'inside', something like this should work:
/ip firewall filter add chain=forward action=drop in-interface=inside time=06:00:00-18:59:59,sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat,sun

I thought this filter rule will allow all internet from the said period,but i am looking for some specific users alone not all of them. The issue i think will affect all users in the network

No. This rule will disallow internet for the specified period. Just change the time period to suite your needs.

If one or two, specify source ip address (src-address=x.x.x.x), if more then create an address list and specify this address list in the rule (src-address-list=limited_users).

Note, New User-Manager (user manager test) provides with profiles, where it is possible to configure time/day/month limitation.

I would recommend to use test computer, where User Manager profiles tests are possible without client interruption.
If you want to try on the current computer, make backup of the current User-Manager,
- backup configuration of the router;
- export configuration of /tool user-manager
- database backup by /tool user-manager database
upload usermantest package and reboot the router.
