2. Officer grade starts from JIO in NAB. He can get upto 12300 i think as house ceiling facility in cities where NAB regional offices exist. AD can get 16000 may be 2 to 3 hundred more or less.
3. Yes . An IO would get full salary during training minus field allowance.
4. One thing you should keep in mind, NAB definitely provides a bit higher remunerations but you have to sacrifice your personal life, your free mind of any stress and tension, party times, a lot of friends. On the other side being a NAB officer you would have high recognition in the society, respect in your surroundings (a lot of enemies though), and where ever you go you would have protocol among other officers.
5. Authority does lie in a persons personality more than his designation. NAB officers are considered as powerful officers in the country although they usually do not exert pressure on the people. Remember the LAW that gives an officer the power also compels him to be with in that limit.
NAB officer is not about pistol in the hand with hero like looks rather heavy files with a tired face...
