Yes, batteries in the camera are definitely permitted!

Hey, if you want to play nasty with anyone who questions you, show them the DGCA photography permit. Tell them that they would be defying a direct DGCA order if they did not allow you to carry batteries in your camera (thereby preventing you from clicking pics inside the aircraft)

I am told that they totally feign ignorance over the photography permit.

Any one recall any incident when they did not allow even after a permit being show to them.

When i was coming to Delhi from Jammu, the security ppl took my nimh batteries and that was the last i saw of them. They did tell me that i would get it at Delhi, but i reached delhi, the batteries never. And yes Air Dhakkan was the airline

They are allowed as long as they are in the devices like cameras etc. I have taken them along on all my flights.
However, you are not permitted to carry loose batteries. I asked a security person, as he was confisticating a few loose batteries from me and the reason given was "the loose batteries might cause sparking". I could do nothing but shrug and move along.

The reason loose batteries are not permitted is apart from Arcing & causing explosion,They can be use as Explosive triggering devices.

My experience was at BOM. That was the only time I had some loose batteries in my bag, though they were fine about batteries in my camera. At HYD, COK, DEL, they have never raised objections about batteries in my camera.

Usually have problems (even with a battery in alarm clock in hold baggage) at the airports under defence control. Pune, Bagdogra, Goa are three places where battery had to be surrendered to security, a register entry made, battery handed over to cabin crew and returned later at destination after contacting the airport manager.

KCM i can expect a better answer on MAA from you.

380,

At MAA, depends on the mood of the CISF.

But the printed air ticket clearly say you are allowed a small camera onboard as part of cabin baggage. Ask your airline to be on the safe side.

380,

Just chEcked with airport. Got a vague answer in Tamil.

So, don't risk it (especially on your way back out of MAA) as it may be just good bye to a precious pair of batteries

MAA airport functioning has always been like a school (convent to be exact). They're the principal and teachers and ure the poor student. I was based in MAA for an year and a half. I would say, take a chance at it. If they let you go with it, fine, otherwise I guess we'll have to read ure trip report without the pictures...
