Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of The India Fund, Inc.


In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
The India Fund, Inc. ("the Fund") as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2011, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered the
Fund's internal control over financial reporting, including controls
over safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal
control over financial reporting.

The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and
maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In
fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management
are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of
controls. A fund's internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A fund's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the fund; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the fund are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the fund; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of a fund's assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when
the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Fund's
annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in
internal control over financial reporting that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company

Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no
deficiencies in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting
and its operation, including controls over safeguarding securities,
that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
December 31, 2011.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Board of Directors of The India Fund, Inc. and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and
should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

SUB-ITEM 77Q1(e): Investment Advisory Agreement
The India Fund, Inc.



THE INDIA FUND, INC.

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF DECEMBER 19, 2011


   AGREEMENT between The India Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), a
Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and Aberdeen Asset
Management Asia Limited, a Singapore corporation (the
"Investment Manager").

   WHEREAS, the Fund is a closed-end management investment
company; and

   WHEREAS, the Fund engages in the business of investing its
assets in the manner and in accordance with its stated current
investment objective and restrictions;

   WHEREAS, the Fund desires to retain the Investment Manager
to furnish certain investment advisory services, as described
herein;

   WHEREAS, the Investment Manager represents that it is
willing and possesses legal authority to render such services
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

   NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

1.   Obligations.

   1.1   The Investment Manager will manage, in accordance
with the Fund's stated investment objective, policies and
limitations and subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board
of Directors, the Fund's investments and will make investment
decisions on behalf of the Fund including the selection of and
placing of orders with brokers and dealers to execute
portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund. The Investment
Manager shall give the Fund the benefit of the Investment
Manager's best judgment and efforts in rendering services
under this Agreement.

   1.2   The Fund will pay the Investment Manager a fee at the
annual rate of (i) 1.10% of the Fund's average weekly Managed
Assets for the first $500 million of average weekly Managed
Assets; (ii) 0.90% for average weekly Managed Assets of the
next $500 million; (iii) 0.85% for average weekly Managed
Assets of the next $500 million; and (iv) 0.75% for average
weekly Managed Assets in excess of $1.5 billion.  For purposes
of this calculation, "Managed Assets" of the Fund shall mean
total assets of the Fund, including any assets attributable to
investment leverage, minus all liabilities, but not excluding
any liabilities or obligations attributable to leverage
obtained by the Fund for investment purposes through (i) the
issuance or incurrence of indebtedness of any type (including,
without limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the
issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred
stock or other similar preference securities, and/or (iii) any
other means, but not including any collateral received for
securities loaned by the Fund.  Such compensation shall be
determined at the end of each week and payable at the end of
each calendar month.

   1.3   In rendering the services required under this
Agreement, the Investment Manager may, at its expense, employ,
consult or associate with itself such person or persons as it
believes necessary to assist it in carrying out its
obligations under this Agreement. However, the Investment
Manager may not retain any person or company that would be an
"investment adviser," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act,
to the Fund unless (i) the Fund is a party to the contract
with such person or company and (ii) such contract is approved
by a majority of the Fund's Board of Directors and a majority
of Directors who are not parties to any agreement or contract
with such person or company and who are not "interested
persons," as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Fund, the
Investment Manager, or any such person or company retained by
the Investment Manager, and is approved by the vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund to
the extent required by the 1940 Act.

   2.   Expenses. The Investment Manager shall bear all
expenses of its employees, except as provided in the following
sentence, and overhead incurred in connection with its duties
under this Agreement and shall pay all salaries and fees of
the Fund's Directors and officers who are interested persons
(as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Investment Manager or its
affiliates. The Fund will bear all of its own expenses,
including: listing expenses; fees of the Fund's Directors who
are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any
other party; out-of-pocket expenses for all Directors and
officers of the Fund, including travel expenses incurred by
the Investment Manager's employees or employees of the
Investment Manager's affiliates, who serve as Directors and
officers of the Fund, or a fraction thereof, to the extent
such expenses relate to attendance at meetings of Directors
and shareholders; and other expenses incurred by the Fund in
connection with meetings of Directors and shareholders;
interest expense; taxes and governmental fees including any
original issue taxes or transfer taxes applicable to the sale
or delivery of shares or certificates therefor; brokerage
commissions and other expenses incurred in acquiring or
disposing of the Fund's portfolio securities; expenses in
connection with the issuance, offering, distribution, sale or
underwriting of securities issued by the Fund; expenses of
registering and qualifying the Fund's shares for sale with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and in various states and
foreign jurisdictions; auditing, accounting, insurance and
legal costs; custodian, dividend disbursing and transfer agent
expenses; and the expenses of shareholders' meetings and of
the preparation and distribution of proxies and reports to
shareholders.

   3.   Best Execution; Research Services. The Investment
Manager is authorized, for the purchase and sale of the Fund's
portfolio securities, to employ such dealers and brokers as
may, in the judgment of the Investment Manager, implement the
policy of the Fund to obtain the best results, taking into
account such factors as price, including dealer spread, the
size, type and difficulty of the transaction involved, the
firm's general execution and operational facilities and the
firm's risk in positioning the securities involved. Consistent
with this policy, the Investment Manager is authorized to
direct the execution of the Fund's portfolio transactions to
dealers and brokers furnishing statistical information or
research deemed by the Investment Manager to be useful or
valuable to the performance of its investment advisory
functions for the Fund. It is understood that in these
circumstances, as contemplated by Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the commissions
paid may be higher than those which the Fund might otherwise
have paid to another broker if those services had not been
provided. Information so received will be in addition to and
not in lieu of the services required to be performed by the
Investment Manager. It is understood that the expenses of the
Investment Manager will not necessarily be reduced as a result
of the receipt of such information or research. Research
services furnished to the Investment Manager by brokers who
effect securities transactions for the Fund may be used by the
Investment Manager in servicing other investment companies and
accounts which it manages. Similarly, research services
furnished to the Investment Manager by brokers who effect
securities transactions for other investment companies and
accounts which the Investment Manager manages may be used by
the Investment Manager in servicing the Fund. It is understood
that not all of these research services are used by the
Investment Manager in managing any particular account,
including the Fund.

   4.	Liability. The Investment Manager shall not be
liable for any error of judgment or for any loss suffered by
the Fund in connection with the matters to which this
Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from a breach of
fiduciary duty with respect to receipt of compensation for
services (in which case any award of damages shall be limited
to the period and the amount set forth in Section 36(b)(3) of
the 1940 Act) or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance
of, or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and
duties under, this Agreement.

   5.   Services Not Exclusive. It is understood that the
services of the Investment Manager are not deemed to be
exclusive, and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the
Investment Manager or any affiliate, from providing similar
services to other investment companies and other clients
(whether or not their investment objectives and policies are
similar to those of the Fund) or from engaging in other
activities. When other clients of the Investment Manager
desire to purchase or sell a security at the same time such
security is purchased or sold for the Fund, such purchases and
sales will be allocated among the Investment Manager's
clients, including the Fund, in a manner that is fair and
equitable in the judgment of the Investment Manager in the
exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such
other clients.

   6.   Duration and Termination. This Agreement shall be
effective as of the date first above written and continue for
a two year period. Thereafter, the Agreement shall continue
for successive periods of twelve months, provided that each
such continuance shall be specifically approved annually by
the vote of a majority of the Fund's Board of Directors who
are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of any such party, cast in person at
a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval
and either (a) the vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund, or (b) the vote of a majority
of the Fund's entire Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated with respect to
the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by a
vote of a majority of the Fund's Board of Directors or a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund upon
at least sixty (60) days' written notice to the Investment
Manager or by the Investment Manager upon at least ninety (90)
days' written notice to the Fund. This Agreement shall
automatically terminate in the event of its assignment (as
defined in the 1940 Act).

   7.   Representations of the Investment Manager.  The
Investment Manager represents and warrants that it is duly
registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended, and holds all other registrations, licenses,
authorizations, permits, and permissions necessary to conduct
its activities hereunder, including a Capital Markets Services
Licence issued by with the Monetary Authority of Singapore,
and will promptly advise the Fund of any change or prospective
change in the status of those registrations.

   8.  Proxy Voting.   The Investment Manager may exercise or
procure the exercise of any voting rights or other powers and
discretion conferred on the registered holder or the
beneficial owner of any securities in the Fund.

   9.   Miscellaneous.
