The issues like Surety Bond, Residence, and Salary will keep haunting all.

Surety Bond for 5 yrs means no aspirant of CSS could quit the NAB service if selected as CSP. So he is to compromise his career as a CSP. If he waits for 5yrs, then he may cross the minimum age limit of CSS.

The headache of lodging arrangement has been left for the candidate that too in an alien land for most of the selected IOs. Also expenses incurred on self-arrangement of boarding & lodging are to be borne by the IO himself with no immediate chance of reimbursement.

Salary package during the training is still obscure. Usually only basic pay is admissible during Pre-Service Training. No allowances are given. This leaves an IO with a very small amount to foot his/her bill for 7 months. For the new recruits, especially those who are supporting their family and children, it would be very difficult to make both ends meet. So joining NAB on one hand has brought joy, but simultaneously has put many IOs on the horns of dilemma.
