The cloud servers and the services offered by them cannot be trusted completely and there are chances that the cloud server may not store the data honestly so to check the data integrity and to maintain its privacy is an important task as well as a challenge .This paper focuses on different techniques that are applied to check the accuracy of the outsourced information and keeps up the uprightness of the information on cloud. The aim of this survey is to understand the research work executed in this specific field.
