I am working in an IT company in Bangalore. I have been deputed to another company in Bangalore. I want to go back to my parent company as I have no interest in working on deputation. Could you please provide me with the format of a letter to refuse the deputation to my manager?

Regardless of your tenure or experience, please note that employment agreements, contracts, or offer letters clearly mention that if the need arises, the company may choose to depute you to any site based on business needs. By refusing, you are not only indicating to the company that you are not interested in other assignments within the company, but you are also potentially jeopardizing your current position. It is important to understand that all companies reserve the right to move employees as needed.
If you still wish to remain at your current location, it would be wise to have an open discussion with your manager about your reasons for not wanting to relocate. Being honest about your concerns can help in finding a suitable solution that works for both you and the company.

Navigating Deputation and Relocation
Deputation and relocation are part of job rotation. It may not necessarily remain pleasant or aligned with personal targets. However, you have agreed to "Employment at will" in your appointment letter. Hence, you need to now chart your way to the point where you want to be.
Discussion with your leaders and reporting managers is the first way out. Please manage this very carefully. A request for a change is a direct disobedience to the orders given to you. Stay away from it. No matter how bad it feels, try to figure out how best you can deliver in this new role. Initially, you will find many more reasons to fail than to succeed.
Regardless of your feelings and prospects, please try to put your best efforts into this role. If you are supposed to request a transfer to your old department, it would only be possible if you have tried your best in the existing role.
Scan for every reason how you could add value to the role if transferred. However, keep your expectations low. Any transfer is made after complete brainstorming. No management would take a request to reconsider it easily. So work your way through. Connect with your mentors in the organization and chart how to proceed with the request.
Be prepared for every adjustment in terms of the comfort zone. Research well on how you could add value in the option requested for. Remain vigilant, as every opportunity discussed with you during this negotiation might be far better than the former role.
Wish you all the best.
