diff of electronegativity is 0.96 so it's polar....

right?.......

Short answer: Yes
Not so short answer: Yes, because....
Hydrogen and Chlorine both pull on the elctrons between them when they are bond together. Chlorine pulls on the shared electrons more than hydrogen. This can be determined by comparing their electronegativity values on an electronegativity chart or table.
Since there is an uneven pull of electrons between the two atoms, one part of the molecule will have more electron density around it than the other. Therefore, there is a positive part and a negative part, making the molecule polar.
