Is it illegal to hand over the electricity charge collected by the property directly to the electric power bureau?

Legal. There are many ways to collect electricity charges, such as online direct payment, bank withholding or manual door-to-door, online payment, bank transfer or cash collection. There is no legal problem for the power company to entrust the property to collect electricity charges. As the agent of the power company, the property company has the same legal effect as the owner directly handing over the electricity fee to the property company. One thing to note here: when the property company collects it, it must issue a notice of payment from the power company.
