Yes, each B-Cl bond is polar. but the molecule is having trigonal planar geometry and is a non-polar molecule.

BCl3 H2O NH3 and PCl3 which is non-polar?

BCl3 is non-polar. The B-Cl bonds are polar but the molecule is not. You should review shapes of molecules. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion, VSEPR. Applying VSEPR on BCl3, we can find out that the shape of the molecule is trigonal planar. Due to its geometry, the bonds cancel out.

Identify the molecule that has polar bonds but is non-polar out of BCl3 NH3 SCl2 CHCl3 and H2S?

You need to look at the molecular geometry using VSEPR theory in order to answer this question. If you do so, you'll find that one of the molecules is both planar and symmetric within that plane. That's the non-polar compound. (In other words: I've given you a hint; do your own homework.) the hint is about BCl3 but it has a net dipole so it is also polar.
