Indiatimes's video: Election Officials Seize Cash From Unaware Tourists In Tamil Nadu How Much Cash Can You Carry

In Tamil Nadu's Nilgiris district, election officials seized ₹69,400 from a Punjab-based family on vacation, enforcing the Model Code of Conduct ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. The family, unaware of the rules, pleaded for the money's return, which was done the next day after verifying documents. The Code prohibits carrying cash over ₹50,000 without supporting documents and gifts exceeding ₹10,000. This measure aims to prevent cash misuse for elect oral influence, though some criticized it as harassment on social media. Bringing you stories that matter to our generation.
