It is located near Palsit at the eastern end of the Panagarh–Palsit highway section and handles private cars, buses and substantial long-distance freight traffic.

The following toll charges are applicable from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027. The return rate generally applies when the second crossing is completed within the permitted 24-hour period.
| Vehicle category | Single journey | Return journey | Monthly pass |
| Car, jeep or van | ₹110 | ₹170 | ₹3,745 |
| Light commercial vehicle or minibus | ₹180 | ₹270 | ₹6,050 |

A car, jeep or van currently pays ₹110 for a single crossing and ₹170 for an eligible return journey. Published current listings show an apparently incorrect figure for the three-axle monthly pass, so that particular amount should be confirmed directly with the toll office rather than relied upon online.
Local Monthly Pass
A person living within 20 kilometres of Palsit Toll Plaza may qualify for a concessional monthly pass for a privately owned, non-commercial vehicle. The local-pass fee for the 2026–27 financial year is ₹360 per month.
Applicants may be asked to provide:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Proof of residential address
- Aadhaar card or another identity document
- Active FASTag linked to the vehicle
- Registered mobile number
- Recent photograph, if required
The concession is linked to the eligible resident and a specific vehicle. Merely having a Purba Bardhaman registration address does not automatically activate the local pass.

FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is accepted at Palsit Toll Plaza. Drivers should keep the tag active, correctly attached to the windscreen and linked to the correct vehicle registration number and category.
