My husband who was working in USA died in an accident. I am in India and would like to receive the DB settlement check. The insurance company has asked me to fill W8-BEN. Do you know if this is US tax exempted ? Also what is the best way to get that money deposited in my Indian bank account.

Typical death benefits (within a certain amount) are not taxed. Call the insurance company and confirm.

A W8-BEN is a tax form for non-US citizens.
I wouldn't worry about it. Just complete it and send it in.
