The problem is that you want to photograph "files" during your inspection. Technically this is called "spying". Furthermore you are depriving the state from it's "further fees" to provide you copies of the information.
Photography is perfectly justified for "inspection" of non-documents where copies cannot be created, but when there is already a reasonably priced method available to you(A3 xerox at a mere Rs.2 per page), demanding photography is "bad form". In passing (not directed at you personally), I am constantly amazed by the "kanjoosi" of some RTIers.
