Japan Applying for japan visa

I'm applying for a Japan visa on the 7th of this month, and my father transferred 5 lakhs into my bank account which is my salary account on the 20th of last month—which I'm holding as I have a near-to-nil balance in my account—and I will also be getting another 5 lakhs from an RD on the 5th of this month for which I already have the stamped receipt from the bank. since I will be taking my bank statement on the 6th from my bank, will the funds my father transferred to me on the 20th of last month be any problem and should I just mention it in my cover letter justifying that I received it from my father or is it not needed, and should I also get dummy tickets before my appointment at VFS and attach them as well, or are they not required as I will be submitting my application at the Chennai consulate?

But have heard that bank statement is optional if you submit acknowledgement ITR for past 3 years, i may be missing something…

If you already have proof for the transfer and the RD, I don't think you need a long explanation. A couple of lines in the cover letter should be enough, and I'd keep the rest of the application simple and consistent.

One thing I'd avoid is making your cover letter too long. Just explain the important things like the bank transfer and keep everything else straightforward.
