Does a Non-Resident Indian need to declare their income earned out of India?
I have been working as a Software developer out of India since Oct-2019 and have not visited India since then. Per my understanding, I would be considered as an NRI for indian tax filing for current AY 21-22. When I am trying to fill ITR2 on the new portal and I select the Status as 'Non-Resident', the schedule FSI gets unchecked and I am not asked to provide the details for my income earned out of India. Is this expected? or should I still somehow declare the foreign Salary income?

Your foreign salary is not taxable in India. Hence no need for you to fill FSI schedule. This schedule applicable for residents having foreign sources of income.

You are NRI, So only Indian Income is taxable in India. If you are not receiving any salary in India on the services rendered outside India then, you are not required to show foreign salary income in ITR. Only the income received or accrued or deemed to accrue in India is taxable india.Based on your limited information you are not required to fill FSI schedule.
