If someone comes to your door on the day of Kartik Purnima, do not return him empty handed. Also, do not speak harsh words to the poor, needy, helpless and elderly on this day.
Avoid insulting anyone on this day. By doing this the Gods and Goddesses get angry and blame is felt.

Kartik Purnima is a very good day for donating, but do not donate things like silver utensils or milk on this day. This causes lunar defect and also financial problems.
