I recently changed my residence after getting my green card.I had stayed in the old house for 9 months after getting the green card.Should I inform INS of the change,
The reason is that I changed my job also and the form requires the name of the employer.
 
Address change

Unless you have a pending petition with INS, you are not obligated to notify them of address change.
 
No Title

The law requires you to notify INS.
However, most likely that they are going to misplace your AR11 anyway.
 
You are correct

You are correct, Abu_Lafya. Every alien should notify INS of address change within 10 days, although I have never heard of them enforcing this law.

Below is an excerpt from the law:

INSERTS/SERVICE LAW BOOKS/IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT/TITLE II - IMMIGRATION/CHAPTER 7 - REGISTRATION OF ALIENS/INA: ACT 265 - NOTICES OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS
