Is it legal for lawyers to collect money?

Collection is not illegal, but it is illegal if violence is used in collection. Whoever intentionally harms the health of others in the process of collection shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance according to law. Those who cause serious injuries shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; Whoever causes death or serious disability by particularly cruel means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death.

As long as it is not a violent collection and it is in the informal sector, it is legal to collect at home.
