Solution-

Let us write the O.N of each element

4\overset{+3\:\:-1}{BCl_{3}}\:\:+\:3\overset{+1\:\:+3\:\:-1}{LiAlH_{4}}\:\rightarrow\:2\overset{-3\:\:+1}{B_{2}H_{6}}\:\:+\:\:3\overset{+1\:-1}{LiCl}\:\:+\:3\overset{+3\:-1}{AlCl_{3}}

Here, the O.N. of Fe decreases from +3 in BCl3 to -3 in B2H6. And the O.N. of H increases from -1 in LiAlH_{4} to +1 in B_{2}H_{6}. Hence, it is a redox reaction.
