Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm

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,
2017, 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 on expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion.
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 company'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 company'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 company; (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 company 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
the company'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 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 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 a material
weakness as defined above as of December 31,
2017.

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.
