ABERDEEN INDIA FUND, INC.

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Policies which include a policy requiring that after an Independent Director has served on the Board for three full consecutive terms of three years following the later of (a) engagement of the existing investment manager of the Fund or (b) the Independent Director's election to the Board, the Independent Director will be put forth for consideration by stockholders annually. Under the Corporate Governance Policies, Independent Directors currently serving on the Board will be submitted to stockholders for consideration of continuation as a director on an annual basis beginning at the first annual meeting following three complete consecutive terms following the later of the appointment of the Fund's then current investment manager or the initial election of the director by the Fund's stockholders, whichever is later. Mr. Luis F. Rubio is to be put forth for consideration by stockholders annually pursuant to the Corporate Governance Policies. Ms. Yao will also be put forth for consideration by stockholders annually, hereafter, if elected for a new term as a Class III Director as presented in Proposal 1.

The Board, including the Independent Directors, upon the recommendation of the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee ("Nominating Committee"), which is composed entirely of Independent Directors, recommends the continuation of Luis Rubio as a Director until the 2026 Annual Meeting.

If the nominee under Proposal 2 is not elected by Fund stockholders, the director will be deemed to have tendered his resignation for consideration by the Board. The Nominating Committee of the Fund shall make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action shall be taken. The Board shall act on the resignation, taking into account the Nominating Committee's recommendation, and shall publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date of the certification of the voting results. Notably, the Director nominee would not participate in the Nominating Committee's recommendation or the Board's decision with respect to his own resignation.

The Board, including the Independent Directors, unanimously recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" the continuation of the term of the Director under the Corporate Governance Policies.
