Constraints from various dark matter (DM) direct detection experiments and Planck measurements exclude a substantial region of parameter space of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). However, considering DM of mass ~ O(100) GeV, a ``mild-tempered'' neutralino with dominant bino composition and a little admixture of Higgsino is found to be a viable candidate. The situation differs a little if the parameter space corresponds to ``blind spots” that are not sensitive to the direct detection experiments. The mild-tempered neutralino can be efficiently produced at the LHC through top-squark production and its subsequent decays with the SM like Higgs boson in the final state. This channel is found to be sensitive also to the blind spot scenario. In this talk, I shall discuss the nature of lightest neutralino in the allowed parameter space of MSSM that provides a DM solution. Further, I shall talk about how the mild-tempered neutralino including the blind spot scenario can be probed at the LHC.
