Shareholders and Board of Directors<br>
The India Fund, Inc.:</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:10.0pt;line-height:107%;">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&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2023, 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:10.0pt;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>

<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:10.0pt;line-height:107%;">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.</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:10.0pt;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>

<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:10.0pt;line-height:107%;">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&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2023.</font></p>
