In this paper we analyze viscous oscillatory MHD inhomogeneous fluid flow through the channel which is narrow and rectangular with one wall being porous through which suction or injection is taken place with constant rate and the other wall being rigid. The equation pertaining to the motion of fluid are simplified by using narrow channel approximation and the simplified equation are solved using similarity transformation and the graphical representation are analyzed for velocity profiles. The results reveal that stratification and MHD effects are found predominantly at the centre of the channel while stratification suppresses the flow in vertical direction. For B 0 =0 and N=0 the results are in accordance with that already available in literature.
