The mode of heat transfer plays an important role in the heat engineering applications. The present work is focused on analytical investigation of unsteady heat transfer rate through porous medium in the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field. An unsteady MHD Jeffrey fluid flow over a vertical plate through a porous medium in  the presence of uniform transverse magnetic field is considered in order to investigate the effects of radiation/absorption, heat generation/absorption and homogeneous chemical reaction. The methodology involves the conversion of coupled nonlinear partial equations in the ordinary differential equations by superimposing of solutions. The perturbation method is used to fulfill the insufficient boundary conditions while solving the ordinary differential equations. The influence of various parameters on the velocity and temperature of the flow is investigated. The obtained results are tabulated and related graphs are plotted for the effect of different parameters on fluid flow. Impact of Jeffrey parameter leads to decrease the fluid velocity. The heavier species with low conductivity reduce the flow within the boundary layer.
