We examine simple extension of the standard model with a pair of fermions, one singlet and a doublet, in a common thread linking the dark matter problem with the smallness of neutrino masses associated with several exciting features. In the presence of a small bare Majorana mass term, the singlet fermion brings in a pseudo-Dirac dark matter capable of evading the strong spin-independent direct detection bound by suppressing the dark matter annihilation processes mediated by the neutral current. In consequence, the allowed range of mixing angle between the doublet and the singlet fermions gets enhanced substantially. Presence of the same mass term in association of singlet scalars also elevates tiny but nonzero masses radiatively for light Majorana neutrino satisfying observed oscillation data.
