    Does Ads display without text "ads by google" violate TOS? Do we need to do anything to make it meet the TOS requirement?

    No tampering with the Adsense codes but you can change the colour of the links, url and alternate ads.

    See below (XXX):

    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    google_ad_client = "pub-XXX";
    google_alternate_ad_url = "http://XXX";
    google_ad_width = 468;
    google_ad_height = 60;
    google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
    google_ad_type = "text";
    google_ad_channel ="";
    google_color_border = "XXX";
    google_color_link = "XXX";
    google_color_bg = "XXX";
    google_color_text = "XXX";
    google_color_url = "XXX";
    //--></script>
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script>

    Yes it against the TOS.

    BTW @ainmohd but then even if you alter the colours or change it it the text"ads by google" you cannot hide or mask that.

    Did I suggest masking/hiding "ads by google"? I didn't.
