Legal & Medical Audit
An analysis of potential statutory violations by Deepanshu Giri and Lunar Astro Vedic Academy.
1. Unlicensed Medical Claims (Autism & Blood Pressure)
Deepanshu Giri has publicly published case studies claiming to provide "astrological insights and remedies" for severe medical conditions, including Autism in children. Furthermore, in a verified LinkedIn post, he boasted about advising a client to take "hydrogen" medicine for blood pressure and breathing issues based purely on their Vedic chart.
Violation Risk: Offering medical advice and claiming to treat neurodevelopmental disorders without a medical license is a severe violation of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954.
2. Corporate Anomalies (MCA Defaults)
Lunar Astro operates as LUNAR ASTRO VEDIC ACADEMY (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED. Despite claiming to have over 80,000 students and generating multi-crore revenues, the entity is registered as a One Person Company with microscopic paid-up capital. Public records indicate periods of MCA defaulting status.
Violation Risk: Potential violations of the Companies Act, 2013, regarding compliance and financial reporting.
3. Consumer Protection Act (Bait-and-Switch)
Marketing materials heavily feature Deepanshu Giri to justify premium consultation fees (₹5,000+). However, clients are routinely handed off to anonymous proxy students (e.g., "Code 5007").
Violation Risk: This constitutes "Deficiency in Service" and "Unfair Trade Practices" under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
