Those three ways are — call at toll-free number 1947 and lodge your complaint, write an email at help@uidai.gov.in or if the Aadhaar card user is a computer savvy, then it can directly lodge an online complaint in this regard by logging in at direct UIDAI link — resident.uidai.gov.in/file-complaint.

The UIDA informed about these three ways to file complaints in regard to extra payment for Aadhaar enrolment and Aadhaar update from its official twitter handle citing, "If you're asked to pay extra while enrolling for Aadhaar or updating details, call 1947 or write to help@uidai.gov.in to register your complaint. You can also file your complaint at: https://resident.uidai.gov.in/file-complaint."
