I am going to Europe this August and wish to apply for visa from Dutch consulate in May. I have recently started looking out for the bank balance I need into my account.

I have understood that I shouldn't add lot of money into my account otherwise it could be considered as funds parking, but to this I want to check , can I not add surplus cash I have with me of around 75K INR to my account ?

Also generally my wife transfers me some money from time to time, like I've paid for her flight tickets and she will transfer that amount to me. Will transfers within my family also cause an issue?

Lastly if these transfers cause an issue then how can I convince the visa authorities that it is actually my money being deposited and my wife whose transferring for money to me why she owes me.

P.S, it's almost 3 months left for my visa, if I do add the money now and it stays in my account for 3 months and I hope it's not considered as funds parking.

What they are looking for is a stable, explained income which exceeds the reasonable expenses. They expect tourists to pay for a vacation out of their salary (or, for young people, from the parents or similar relatives), not with money arriving out of thin air. And they expect business travelers to be in a stable economic situation.

This pattern is more important than the balance. Can you show a good income/expenditure pattern with your bank statements?

This question talks about the UK, but the principle is the same.
