In this paper, two generalized class such as ratio to exponential and the difference type of estimators have been proposed for estimating the finite population mean by utilizing information on higher order moments of an auxiliary variable in the two traditional situations of non-response. The expressions of biases and mean squared errors of the estimators are derived up to first order of approximation. The efficiency comparisons of the proposed methods over other contemporary estimators are carried out on real data sets. A simulation study is also performed to support the present study. The performance of the proposed methods are better than the others existing methods. Results are interpreted and suitable recommendations are made.
