of the financial statements of The India Fund, Inc. (the Fund) as of and for
the year ended December&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2022, 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-CEN, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Calibri,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:11.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:107%;">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 company; 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.</font></p>

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.</font></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-top:0in;"><font face=Calibri,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:11.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:107%;">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 company&#8217;s annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.</font></p>

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 </font><font face=Calibri,sans-serif lang=EN-US style="font-size:11.0pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:107%;">operation, including controls over safeguarding
