The station is situated in Bansberia, a municipal town on the western bank of the Hooghly.

The town is historically known for the Hangseshwari Temple and the older settlement of Bansberia, both of which lie within easy reach of the station.

As one of the suburban stations in the Hooghly belt, Bans Beria contributes to the everyday rail-based commute that characterises this part of West Bengal. The corridor through which the station lies has long been important for moving passengers between the riverside towns of Hooghly and Howrah districts and the urban core of Kolkata.
