91/2008 dated 28/08/2008 issued by CBDT states that any income of a resident of Indian, which “ may be taxed” in the other country ( Source Country) as per the DTAA shall be included in his total income chargeable to tax in India in accordance with the provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961. 

Country DTAA TDS rate
United States of America 15%

Yes, you have to disclose all your foreign assets, foreign operation & foreign income in your ITR. If you are paying income tax on such foreign income in USA, then you have to look into double taxation avoidance agreement to not to pay tax again on same income.

Submit US tax records for lower/no tax deduction on such foreign income:

Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) obtained from Government of home country. Self-attested copy of Passport and Visa.
