The area of this research reveals the heat and mass transport of a Jeffrey nanofluid in the direction of a stagnation point coexisting with magnetic field and melting heat transport. The fundamental PDEs are converted to a set of nonlinear ODEs with the guidance of some appropriate similarity transformations. The result is gained analytically by Differential Transformation method (DTM) and a comparison with the numerical solutions obtained by Runge-Kutta Gill based shooting procedure is framed. Numerical outcomes for non-dimensional temperature, nanoparticle concentration, Nusselt number and Sherwood number for different parameters indulging the flow are offered through charts and figures. In occurrence of a magnetic flux, the melting heat effect enhances nanoparticle concentration distribution, whereas the reverse effect is noticed for temperature. Nusselt number falls with Thermophoresis and melting heat transport, while Sherwood number rises with magnetic field and stretching ratio of the sheet.
