Force India boss Vijay Mallya has played down reports suggesting that his team will not be able to take part in the 2010 season.
The Daily Telegraph had published a story which said that because the team had not lodged its financial accounts with Companies House on time it could face dissolution.
The team has now been given until February 25 to file its accounts otherwise it will not be able to take part in any of this season's races.
However, Mallya said: "It is not unknown for companies to file their annual returns late, the reasons for which are varied.
"Force India has been in constant communication with Companies House and an extension to file was granted on 27 January 2010, with a grace period to 25 February 2010.
"This is a standard procedure and not uncommon in any industry. We are taking all necessary steps to ensure filing is made on or before that date. So Force India's participation in the championship is not, and will not, be in jeopardy."
Antonio Liuzzi and Adrian Sutil have been confirmed as Force India's two drivers for the 2010 season, while Paul di Resta will be the team's test driver.
