The effect of uniform and non-uniform salinity gradients on the onset of triple diffusive convection in a system of composite layers enclosing an incompressible, three component, electrically conducting fluid which lies above a saturated porous layer of the identical fluid is studied analytically. The upper boundary of the fluid layer and the lower boundary of the porous layer are static and both the boundaries are insulating to heat and mass. At the interface, the velocity, shear stress, normal stress, heat, heat flux, mass and mass flux are presumed to be continuous, intended for Darcy-Brinkman model. An Eigenvalue problem is attained and the same is solved by the regular perturbation approach. The critical Rayleigh number which is the guiding principle for the invariability of the system is accomplished for every salinity profile individually. The effects of various physical parameters on the onset of Triple diffusive convection are considered for all the profiles graphically.
