The Mauritius company can take a short-term loan from the Indian individual's USA account, but there are certain regulatory requirements and notifications that need to be considered:

 1. Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) regulations: The transaction should comply with FEMA regulations, which govern foreign exchange transactions in India.

2. Reporting requirements: The Indian individual and the Mauritius company may need to report the transaction to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) through the following: -

 Form LRS (Liberalized Remittance Scheme): The Indian individual may need to file this form to report the remittance to the USA account. - Form ODI (Overseas Direct Investment):

 The Mauritius company may need to file this form to report the receipt of the loan. - Form FC-TRS (Foreign Currency Transaction Reporting): The transaction may need to be reported on this form.

 3. Approval from RBI: Depending on the nature and amount of the loan, the Indian individual and/or the Mauritius company may require approval from the RBI.

4. Tax implications: The transaction may have tax implications in India, the USA, and Mauritius.

 It's essential to consult a tax professional to understand the tax implications. Please consult a chartered accountant, tax professional, or legal expert to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements and notifications.
