If an NRI is filing tax return in India, should he disclose foreign income which is not taxable in India as Exempt Income?

If we see definition of income in ITA, it is very comprehensive and hence per se, the foreign income qualifies as income for NRI hence should be disclosed. Only issue is that it is not taxable u/s 6 and not exempt u/s 10

Conversely, if not disclosed as exempt income, what can be the implications?

Thanks.
