How can I reinforce my available hours?

I’ve been with the company for over a year and mentioned during my interview that I need at least one day off each week for medical appointments.
While my schedule was initially accommodating, I’ve recently been scheduled for mandatory meetings during those hours without notice. This is frustrating, as I live in a rural area with limited options for rescheduling. Now, I am requesting unpaid personal leave to attend my appointments, which isn’t ideal.

I sympathize, but you also have to look at it in the bigger picture.

What if there are 6 of you in the team and you all need a day clear to go to appointments, and you don't have the same day shared between you.

Well to have a team meeting one of you will need to be inconvenienced

Time off like this is never a given, unless written in your contract, prior to COVID this wouldn't even have been accommodated (unless you booked leave) so the fact most times it works should be seen as a good thing

My father took a home loan, and the same home is kept as mortgage.
I'm paying arround 22k emi for the same but unable to exempt tax as the loan is on my father's name.

I googled a lot how to transfer it but neither gift deed nor sale deed would work as the property is on mortgage that's under bank's ownership (until loan is fulfilled).
Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂
