What is the difference between transfer of an employee and deputation of an employee?
From India, New Delhi
Hi, In general terms deputation is posting of an employee to other location on temporary basis whereas transfer is something relocation of an employee on a permanent basis.
From India, Madras
Transfer is a permanent arrangement whereas deputation is a temporary arrangement. by permanent I don't mean that an employee transferred once cannot be transferred or moved to other posts or places in future but to a post which is permanent in nature.

It is something similar to earlier usage of Suspension of Operations for Lay Off

NOT AT ALL. Suspension of operations or lay off is entirely different and the same involves closure of a division and at least loss of employment for the time being. In deputation there is no loss of employment but the service conditions will continue to exist, salary will be paid in time etc/

To be more specific and appropriate it should be understood that 'deputation' is for a limited period of time that can be extended at the discretion of the Employer or the Competent Authority whereas 'transfer' is for an indefinite period (not permanent). All service benefits/entitlements are admissible in both the cases. Generally deputation is made on a higher post or a post carrying higher responsibilities, whereas transfer is made on same designation/post. Higher pay scale or deputation pay is admissible in cases of deputation, whereas same pay will be given in transfer cases.
