Questions & Answers about Qualora Lei non abbia la ricevuta, non possiamo rimborsare il biglietto.
Why is abbia used instead of ha after qualora?
Qualora means "if", "should", or "in the event that". Because it introduces a hypothetical condition, it strictly requires the subjunctive mood. Since this is about a present or near-future situation, we use the present subjunctive abbia.
How would this sentence change if I used se (if) instead of qualora?
Why is the pronoun Lei explicitly included and capitalized?
Why does the main clause use the indicative (possiamo) when the first half uses the subjunctive?
The subjunctive is only triggered inside the dependent clause introduced by qualora. The main clause (non possiamo rimborsare il biglietto) describes a factual, definite consequence of that condition, so it stays in the normal indicative mood.
