Really? I was not aware of such a restriction. This may be an India
thing. In the US exit polls can and do ask voters who they voted for.
See:

Wikipedia also seems to concur:

"Unlike an opinion poll, which asks whom the voter plans to vote for
or some similar formulation, an exit poll asks whom the voter actually
voted for."
