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. Ms. Nancy Yao is to be put forth for consideration by stockholders annually pursuant to the Corporate Governance Policies. Ms. Kumar and Mr. Rubio will also be put forth for consideration by stockholders annually, hereafter, if elected for a new term as Class II Directors 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 Ms. Yao as a Director until the 2028 Annual Meeting.

If the continuation of the Director's term presented in Proposal 2 is not approved by Fund stockholders, the Director will be deemed to have tendered their 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 who tendered their resignation would not participate in the Nominating Committee's recommendation or the Board's decision with respect to their 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.

The persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote at the Meeting (unless directed not to vote) FOR the election or continuation, as applicable, of the nominees listed below.

Each Director was selected to join the Board based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the Director's ability to carry out his or her duties as a Director, the Director's background, business and professional experience, qualifications and skills. Each Director possesses the following specific characteristics: Ms. Kumar has financial and accounting experience as the chief financial officer of other companies and experience as a board member of private equity funds; Ms. Yao has financial and research analysis experience in and covering the Asia region, experience in world affairs, and serving on the boards of other investment companies; Mr. Rubio has business and academic experience as president of a not-for-profit think tank focused on Mexico's economic and democratic development and has served as a board member of other investment companies; Mr. Porter has business experience and executive management and financial expertise as vice president and chief financial officer of public and private entities; and Mr. Goodson has financial and research analysis experience. Messrs. Goodson and Porter and Ms. Yao also have experience as a trustee/director of other funds within the Aberdeen fund complex. The Board has determined that Mr. Porter is an "audit committee financial expert" as explained further below.

The Board believes that the significance of each Director's experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience important for one Director may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level as a whole, with no single Director, or particular factor, being indicative of Board effectiveness. In its periodic self-assessment of the effectiveness of the Board, the Board considers the complementary individual skills and experience of the individual Director in the broader context of the Board's overall composition so that the Board, as a body, possesses the appropriate (and appropriately diverse) skills and experience to oversee the business of the Fund. References to the qualifications, attributes and skills of Directors are presented pursuant to disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and do not constitute holding out the Board or any Director as having any special expertise or experience, and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.
