You cannot give away user ownership of the file as a normal user. But you can change the group of that file if user ID 'apache' is part of 'btunix' group.
Otherwise add 'btunix' group as a secondary group of 'apache' user.
Code:
chgrp btunix /tmp/reference_file.csv

Ofcourse only 'root' user will be able to do the groupadd to 'apache' ID Smilie
