In British India, were rifle cartridges actually greased with animal fat?

The Sepoy Rebellion was just covered in one of my college classes today. I had learned about it in high school as well, but I decided to learn more about it on my own time, and I've been wondering, was there any truth to the Sepoy rumors that the cartridges were greased with beef tallow and/or pork lard?
