contents We study the effects of magnetic field in the formation of a radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF) in the presence of Bremsstrahlung cooling, which facilitates the formation of a geometrically thin, optically thick accretion disk surrounded by a hot corona. We have performed axis-symmetric magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of an initial accretion torus with a $1/r$ dependant local poloidal field in the presence of a pseudo-Newtonian potential, taking into account optically thin cooling, resistivity and viscosity. We observe the formation of persistent jets and magnetised outflows from the corona surrounding a thin disk with an increase in the magnetic diffusivity parameter. We have defined an equivalent time scale ($τ_{eq}$) which takes into account the heating time scales due to viscosity, resistivity, magnetic reconnection and magneto-rotational instability turbulence such that the thin disk is formed if the cooling time scale ($τ_{cool}$) is lower than this equivalent time scale ($τ_{cool}/τ_{eq}<1$). Using this condition, for the first time, we found that the thin disk exists when the initial ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure (plasma beta) exceeds a range of $600-800$ for the gas obeying a polytropic equation of state accreting at $10^{-5}\ M_{\odot}/year$
