The reverse delegation is done by whomever has been delegated authority
for the parent of the reverse domain, just like for the forward
domains.
E.g., whoever has authority for xxx.yyy (yyy.xxx.in-addr.arpa domain)
will delegate authority for any xxx.yyy.nnn.
After all,
nnn.yyy.xxx.in-addr.arpa
is simply a sub-domain of
yyy.xxx.in-addr.arpa
just like
foo.bar.com
is a sub-domain of
bar.com.
Once you have authority for a domain, you can delegate sub-domains
at your whim.
Typically, your ISP would have authority for your reverse parent.
If the ISP is hosting your DNS, then they would retain authority
for both the forward and the reverse domains.
You say that *you* created a sub-domain. That means that you have the
ability to change the zone data on their server. But you cannot
arbitrarily start using a new range of IP addresses. You have been
assigned a range of IPs by your ISP, and you must stay within that
range. Thus, whoever is authoritative for that range would have to
add the PTR records for your host. Most likely it's the ISP, and it
would seem that you should also have the ability to set up the reverse
PTRs yourself.

It seems that I cannot post message. This is to re-send the same mail
message.
I have 2 T1 connected to 2 separate ISPs. The DNS is being hosted on one
ISP. Now, I have created a subdomain. Is the zone delegation done at the
ISP and the reverse delegation done at the APNIC ?
