Singh is planning to sell a minority stake in Max Financial Services (MFSL), the holding company of Max Life, as well as some real estate assets, the report said citing merchant banking sources.

The process will be completed in four to six months and promoters have decided not to sell off or merge the life insurance business with a strategic investor, the report said.
