This work considered the unsteady hydromagnetic flow of an electrically conducting, incompressible, viscous fluid past an infinite vertical porous plate. The oscillatory suction velocity is normal to the plate. The uniform magnetic field influence is normal to the flow and the permeability of the medium is time dependent. The oscillatory suction velocity was defined so as to eliminate any complexity in the equations that were derived. The problem was solved using a modified technique of the Homotopy analysis method. The results obtained were discussed for various effects of material parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles.
