The page says citizens can give the information and that a police NOC is not needed. It cites no order and sets no penalty for not reporting. For a foreign national, the Mumbai Police form cites the Foreigners (Report to Police) Order, 1971, which asks the householder to report to the nearest police station. Giving the details is still the safe course.
