Answer:

After moving the script to the /sbin/init.d directory, you have to link
it to the /sbin/rc3.d directory.

# cd /sbin/rc3.d
# ln -s ../init.d/<scriptname> S99<scriptname>

I also found a script which can automate the above activity. Example of that script is as follows:

#!/sbin/sh
#

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb
export PATH
script=/sbin/init.d/powerflag
killscript=/sbin/rc0.d/K00powerflag
startscript=/sbin/rc3.d/S60powerflag
#
if [ ! -x $script ]; then
  cp pf_boot.osf1 $script
  chmod 744 $script
fi
#
if [ ! -x $startscript ]; then
  ln $script $startscript
  chmod 744 $startscript
fi
#
if [ ! -x $killscript ]; then
  ln $script $killscript
  chmod 744 $killscript
fi

Thanks & Regards
