What it means in practice

Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) Registration is a central regulation that applies uniformly across India, including Goa. In Goa, the day-to-day administering authority and the office where filings are submitted will be the regional Employees' office in Goa.

Triggers at 20 workers — exactly the demo profile band, so this lands in the rule set.
