How can I pass overlay map image with image bounds in static map service?

I have an image which I want to overlay on map at certain position, looks like current static map image service doesn't provide any parameter to pass that.

You are right. On static maps you can't send add custom overlays like in the javascript api. But maybe you can consider this as work around, you Add custom markers on your map URL.

You can use up to five unique custom icons per request. This limitation does not mean that you are limited to only 5 marked locations on your map. Each unique icon may be used with more than one markers location on your map.

Icon format:

Icon images may be in PNG, JPEG or GIF formats, though PNG is recommended. Icons may be up to 4096 pixels maximum size (64x64 for square images).
