His father won't be able to leave for Varanasi until they have arrived.
I think there should be arrive instead of have arrived. It is talking about present condition.
For example- If they arrive his father will leave for Varanasi. Here we cant say If they have arrived his father will leave for Varanasi.
Am i right?
