Corporate Anomalies: Where is the Money Going?
Beyond consumer deception, there are significant red flags in the company's corporate structure that warrant scrutiny from financial watchdogs.
The OPC Discrepancy
Publicly available Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) records show that Lunar Astro operates primarily as LUNAR ASTRO VEDIC ACADEMY (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED, a One Person Company.
Despite boasting of having "80,000+ students" and reporting massive revenues (allegedly ₹14.9 Crore in recent filings), the company maintains a microscopic paid-up capital. Furthermore, records have indicated periods of MCA defaulting status, raising questions about corporate governance and compliance.
The Section 8 "Charity" Funnel
Adding to the complexity, the founder has incorporated a Section 8 Non-Profit Trust (DEVGURU HINDU ASTROLOGY FOUNDATION) in a different state (Uttarakhand).
Followers are actively encouraged to make "karmic donations" as astrological remedies. Financial watchdogs and whistleblowers have raised concerns that this dual structure could potentially be used to funnel commercial profits through tax-exempt charitable vehicles, shielding high-margin revenue from standard commercial taxation.
