The difference between "who" and "whom" is the same as the difference between "I" and "me" "he" and "him" "she" and "her" etc.
Who, like other pronouns such as I he, and she, is a subject. So, it is the person performing the action of the verb. On the other hand, whom, acts like me, him, and her in a sentence. It is the object. Therefore, it is the person to/about/for whom the action is being done.

Again. This has been in a conflict and different grammarians follow or suggest differently. Some argue it to be "who" and some says "whom". However according to Wren & Martin's English grammar- Both are acceptable.

@Roopa.
"May I" is used for asking permission
"Please" is requesting to get information
So both are needed.
And whom is more formal while asking than who.
So, whom is the correct answer.
"May I" is used for asking permission
"Please" is requesting to get information
So both are needed.
And whom is more formal while asking than who.
So, whom is the correct answer.

I think please is not required at the end because the use of the expression may is itself pleasing.

What about, whom do you want rather than whom you want. Which one is appropriate?

I think the correct sentence should be "May I please know who you want to see".

Who is used nowadays? No problem in that. D only error may be the '?' missing.

Either way we can say, "who you want see" or "who you want to see. ".

I think to whom you want see is right in place of know who you want.
