Transfer vs. Deputation
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 the future, but to a post which is permanent in nature.

Understanding Deputation and Transfer
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 cases. Generally, deputation is made to a higher post or a post carrying higher responsibilities, whereas transfer is made to the same designation/post. A higher pay scale or deputation pay is admissible in cases of deputation, whereas the same pay will be given in transfer cases.
